Wheels of Happiness
Rizal Philippines May 16, 2015
As we prepare for the Sagada ride, we need to hone up our hill climbing skills.
Last Tuesday, after missing a ride the entire week, I rode to Morong (up to the market only) and did a hill climb via the diversion in Cardona. This was the third climb in a month and as it was still early and cool, the climb was not very difficult. I did the climb in 34 x 23 with still plenty to spare.
Earlier at Callahan, on the way to Morong I overtook a 26 wheeler lorry, chugging up the hill. I stood up and attacked. The lorry overtook me at Morong all ready.
Last Thursday, I climbed Antipolo. Going up Tower Hills and until fibertex, I climbed 53 x 23, and occasionally 53 x 25.
I dropped to 34 at Beverly but 34 x 19
Over all, I could see over all improvement in my ride.
At Antipolo church, a 60 year old guy who rode an MC inquired about my age, and when I replied I am almost 64 (by June) he was quite surprised. He too rides the MTB to maintain good health
