Rode up Quarry Road counter clockwise; now found it hard to ride up.

Wheels of Happiness

In order to burn the 3 bottles of beer I drunk last night in class reunion, I decided to ride up Quarry Road.  The last ride I had via this route was about two months ago.

I found it hard  to ride up and had to stop 3x which was unusual for me.  I was able to ride up continuously before.  The hills looked steep.  Still a lot of garbage dumped

There were no other bikers except me and Pablo.  Pablo was doing repeats and he was on his 7th when I saw him.  

Wemt down via Domsa by about 9:15 and there were no other bikers.

Climbed long and steep roads of Ynares avenue at Binangonan; I was able to handle this without "tulak"

I had an appointment with an agent this morning who said he would show me a property at Kasinay.  I biked through Quarry Road and went up via Ynares Avenue.  You turn right after passing through Sunnyvale 2.

I broke my chain on my way up here the first time.   Its only 200 meters ascent.  So it has been awhile since and never really tried to climb this.  The road look unbikeable to me.  I had a road bike with me and its largest cog was only 34t. 

But climbed I did and there was no tulak.   

Then the agent did not come on time and he was late for 20 minutes>  I did two laps from Barangay Hall to Kasinay Macamot intersection twice.  And if you have gone this way, this place is a place to practice your climbing skills

Kinaya.   Hindi sumuko

On our second day, last Monday, we proceeded to St Ellis Hotel in downtown Letazpi and took a 1 1/2 ride to Misibis Bay Resort in their bus shuttle.  I heard Reinier mention their loop ride here.

From what I observed in the bus, the ascent here are killer hills.   May be I should find out one of these days.  But for these riders, they looked so easy.  Maybe they had 32 chain rings and 51 cogs.  But there were tulak portions 

Misibis Bay is going to the north, nearer to Tobacco than to Sorsogon.

Ride gets steeiper after passing through Sulang bridge, which connects the main land to Cagraray island
