Wheels of Happiness

Tried a greater challenge this morning -  climbing up Hillsdale at Botong Francisco blvd said to be 20% gradient in some areas without much difficulty.   Just a short maybe 1.2 km ride up.   Unlike the one featured in the video  Domsa and Cabrera road, quary road are much more difficult.   Saw that Hillsdale is guarded and two tarps one saying Bobi Plaza paid mayor permit and other one saying that most of the locators did not pay permits as per BPLO

Admired the view of Laguna Lake from the summit and the Church in Sky of Muzon.  

I rode to the Tikling Cabrera road yesterday August 29, 2014

Angono, Rizal   |  August 30, 2014

I biked to Antipolo yesterday up to Lores, via the Kaytikling Cabrera road.  This is the home of the DECS, Provincial Jail of Rizal, and the Sto Rosario Memorial Park.  It is rather a challenging and steep ride, more challenging than the Fibertex, Beverly Hills Climb to Antipolo

There are 3 hills:  the one at ABC building, then the next one at Victory Church, and the 3rd one after the 2nd gate of Maharlika .  It is about 2 km, the last 500 meters that turns sharply to the left leaves you breathless.

It rained while I was climbing this and before I had to stop 3x for this ride, this time I did this without dismounting
