Staying alive and strong

Wheels of Happiness

This post has been consistently riding at least 3x a week mostly hill climbs to be fit and stay alive.   I bike going East to Mambog and Cardona,  and North to Antipolo via  Tikling or  Cabrera,  in Angono, Domsa and  Quarry Road.    These climbs make me perspire and follow the  Sound of Music  song "  Climb every mountain"

Every mountain is a challenge and a goal.  What is your mountain?

Just missed them by 15 to 20 minutes?

This post met Vic Urbano who is one of the LGU employees at the municipal market when I bought some fruits form the market

He said that he hasnt biked since the Atimonan ride.  I said I tried to catch up with them.  Did they leave at 4:30;   no at about 5.  Thats when I arrived at Jollibee.  I said I was at Manay in Famy by 9:00 it was still closed.  I arrived about 9:10 - 15 thereabouts.  I could have been to Lucena with the out and back ride...

Had trouble with my shifting as I biked 20 km out and back; it rained

Wheels of Happiness

I had trouble shifting especially at small chainring and small sprocket.   I fixed it as soon as I got home where I had the tools and bike stand.  Found out:

     1.   The jockey wheel was all ready dirty;

    2     The rd was loose;  the bolt attaching it to the frame was loose. I just tightened it 6 mm.   Everything was back to normal

I met Gerry on the way at 6: 10 am.   He was waiting for Jess.

I biked to Km 47, had bfast at simples,   Met Master and had shop talk with him for 10 mins.  Then went home via Cardona diversion.  I met Louie on the way up, but he stalled because he said  he had "rayuma"

Then it rained as I summited.  Waited for 30 minutes for the rain to stop.  

Then went up at the steep Mambog hills

Went up SCH until the tank only.   Then on the way down, saw 3 mtb riders spraying each other with high pressure hoses after being muddied up at the SCH trail.  They sure like ducks enjoyed the experience immensely
