When your ride with a 20 year old, you have to pedal hard and fast like a 20 year old - not the way you usually ride

Wheels of Happiness

This morning I rode with a 20 year old, a maritime student graduating this year - an apo of former HS classmate.   I rode with him and his cousin 5 years ago to Pililla.   He wanted to ride yesterday with me to Antipolo, which I failed to do yesterday, but I promised him today.  He lives about 12 km away in Pateros and we agreed to meet up at traffic light of Highway 2000  at 7:00 am today.   I came some 15 mins earlier and he came at 7:00 am exactly.  We pedalled through highway 2000 on the way to Antipolo  I pedalled hard and fast because he was doing exactly that.

I gave him 4 choices for the ride from highway 2000:

     1.  Go via the route he took yesterday

     2.   Go via the route he took yesterday and then ride to DOMSA

     3.   Ride straight to DOMSA

He opted for No 2.  I gave him another option:    up to Antipolo via Cabrera which he declined.  He looks like he is overweight at 200 lbs and may have difficulty in climbs. 

Riding up Antipolo he slowed considerably at hills  but was fast downhill

At DOMSA he saw Walls 1 and 2 and concluded that he was right in dismissing  #3.   

We must have pedalled over 40 km

To look young you must think you are young.  Choose the age 20 or 30

      

Could we wear a yellow jersey - never but can ride the same bike and crash harder than they do!!

I rode today up a steep hill  and watched afterwards  a video a clip of Pogie winning a stage and wearing a Yellow Jersey.  We could not wear a Yellow Jersey like they do but we can ride the same bike, experience the same pain as you race or climb a hill.   Or worse crash.

In some areas of our lives we can wear a yellow,jersey as a champ, for having achieved something of note.  but not the TDF Yellow Jersey.  

What is your Yellow Jersey in your life.?   

Cures for trigger finger

This post sent pics of my Domsa Christmas eve ride  to a kapadyak who lives now at Loakan Baguio City, and he immediately replied that he experiences:   pains all over his body and trigger (locked fingers)  I said I was able to cure it.  I had it before.  Someone I know had it surgically  solved.  

But here are videos of how to cure it:
