Early morning routine of drinking coffee in the morning if you are senior raises risk of stroke

Wheels of Happiness

Why?

1.  You came from a 6-8 hours of sleep and you would have perspired and your blood could be thicker and your heart needs to work harder and the more viscous blood can be ripe for a clot which can cause a stroke   

2.  Caffeine in your coffee causes diuresis causing your blood to go thicker and thus increase stroke risk    

Less of coffee;  maybe tableya dark chocolate tea, or lemon water.

Did a Cabrera road ride with a future mariner; it was a tough ride

Wheels of Happiness

Kinulit ako ni Jersey, apo of fmr hs  classmate to do a ride today.  I challenged him to the Cabrera road ride which I remembered to be just consisting of 3 hills but it turned out to be 6 hills and in a way, it was a Budol statement.  

The toughest was the first hill near the ABC building and the second one was the one turning left going up near the OL bridge.  I was glad Jersey although behind by some 20 -30 meters managed it well.

Then we had Jbee near the Capitolyo.   Great ride.

Video of those who did it too.

Biked today to Sitio Labahan; unable to cross the bridge going up because it was closed and heavily guarded - "PRIVATE PROPERTY?"

Wheels of Happiness





This post tried climbing the Labahan route but unable to proceed because the concreted portion going up to Zen was blocked by barricade and guarded by 3 SG. -   marked "  PRIVATE PROPERTY"  (Also fell to the side of the road about 30 meters from the crest    The crank would not be moved any further hahahaha)

How come it was concreted, seemingly by public funds?
