    Your first mistake was taking a turn on the front! Got to get down to Cebu, last time I was there was 2016.

      haha the goal for the ride was to empty myself. So it was very successful from that perspective.

    What a tough climb!
    I went to Manipis last weekend and went through Sinsin and Sudlon, and then up to TCH and out to Busay. I know I need to upgrade my fitness, but certain sections were just too steep and I kept cramping. Haha. Not sure if my 1:1 gearing (50-34 crank and 11-34 cassette) is enough for those steep sections that felt like 20-30%. I was thinking of upgrading to an 11-36 cassette but not sure how much that extra gearing would help (if at all).

      I think i saw that. We were actually very near the area you were cycling in on that day. Ya that's tough route. First time I did it, I started cramping too. Just keep at it!

    That's a bucket list ride for cebuanos though i think you actually did not reach Mt. Manungal which is another 500 msl from TCH.
    There the Mt Manungal challenge next month maybe you'd like to try joining.
