I biked with Reymond Pactao to Antipolo this morning

I and Reymond Pactao, a young cyclist from Mandaluyong (who hails from Puerto Princesa) biked to Antipolo City this morning. We started out at 6:00 am from Shell near Aurora subdvision. Reymond was wearing a pink set of uniform. He brought his Mosso bike with Durace group set (which came from his former boss, the King of Motel renown)
We proceeded at fast pace saving about 5 mins off our pace when I went with Gelo. and then we went to church. After a while we had lugaw and puto and Reymond paid for them. We did not proceed with having his bike blessed because we had no change.
Reymond left me near Fibertex. He stood because his lowest cog is only at 23. I equalled his gear by having 39 x23 going up. Going down, I shifted to 53 x 13 and sometimes 11. We had the same gear when we were down town. I would like to say that this ride further improved my speed and strength.

Its all about improving oneself every ride
Wheels of Happiness

May 8, 2016
Some of the rules on success and getting wealthy says its all about improving oneself everyday in whatever you do. It is not about getting more money or more material possessions. IT IS ALL ABOUT GETTING BETTER EVERYDAY.
None could be more visible in our rides. One can ride the same way for the entire year. or you could seek improvement. Or one could buy upgrades. The rule is upgrade you. One may have the latest SRAM 1 x 11 group set with 42 largest cog, or the lightest carbon fiber frame or wheel set. But you could pedal yet at the same rate or still ride at 20 mph.
Why dont you attempt riding at 30 kph, ascend the hill at 13 kph instead of just 8 kph? Or sprint before reaching the top when your legs are about conking out? Or how about chasing somebody who passes you?
As for me for yesterday ride (at San Carlos Antenna) and today's ride (at Cardona loop 2x) I achieved the following:
1. Climbing San Carlos from Gate 2;
2. Climbing the antenna without falling on the rugged road;
3. Completing the climb using 34 x 32 (other riders were climbing at 24 x 32 or 28 x 44)
4. Sprinting at flats at 42 kph using an MTB ( I managed to chase an MTB from Pasig who was showing off his speed) and even led him at Callahan until Morong.)
