Rode up to DOMSA today on a road bike; practice makes climbs easier

Wheels of Happiness

Rode up to DOMSA on a Road Bike ((Sworks with Wheeltop gs)   this morning.  This was much better ride than before.   It felt easier (maybe because thisi post shifted to the biggest cog early and rode less intensely) and because I am having more practice.    

I met Ruben, Nolite and cousin Rommel Unidad (he was on Colnago with Campy groupset) and several other familiar faces

As usual, the males made Maritess of people who were not here, and talked about ladies with diabetes.   

I have a kumpare pala who can "hilot" ("finger" is his term) aches and pains from sprains and strains

Last Sunday, August 24, 2014, Armin Z and I rode back together home from Morong.  He had an appointment, and I was not fit for the Sierra Madre ride. I had to accept my limitation.

However right after the Callahan ascent, at the Cardona town proper, Armin complained of pain at the left leg rear of knee. He said he must have "ipit" of veins at the left leg (strain)  So we had to bike ascent to LLDA near Montevideo slowly. I suggested one leg pedalling (right only)  In short we manage to ride home and I accompanied Armin to a kumpare, Robert who took care of my sprained big toe which immobilized me.

Unfortunately he was not there.   I understand Armin came back, they had a "hilot"session.   Ruben said in a naughty term "fingering" I suppose Armin's condition was cured?
