From Hollywood reporter | June 27, 2013
Actor James Gandolfini was buried after dying abroad while on vacation of heart attack. A TV feature on the actor's death mentions that many have heart attack during a vacation for unknown reason.
But the real issue on James heart attack is not the vacation but his large waistline. The person's health and longevity are inversely proportional to his waist size
A senior thinks, rides, solves problems, repairs bikes, thinks discusses about other sports. What senior should do to keep fit

Doing something for our belly flabs to be healthier and faster
Real Cyclists
Rizal PHL | June 30, 2013
Our birthday bash pictures in Pansol showed the majority of Recyclists to be having belly flabs. Now that is a handicap because this means there is fat: at the liver, heart and lungs. MDs and wellness experts are saying that your longevity is inversely proportional to the size of your waist. Those whose waist size is beyond 40 are not very likely to live beyond their mature age.
A leaner weight means we can bike faster. We spend much to have lighter bikes; we can be lighter too we can do this by having less.
So let us do something about our bellies:
l. Do planking exercises
2. Mind your diet; avoid softdrinks, sugary drinks with high fructose corn syrup; drink beer in moderation. Avoid carbs before sleeping. Avoid food that turn on your fat switch (like the high glycemic index) This has something to do with your leptin level.
When you take low GI food, you produce less insulin which makes your leptin level go up. High leptin level ---> metabolizes fat and makes you lose appetite. The same action from taking metformin
3. You can take metformin an anti diabetic drug to shed fat.
4. Do these type of exercises: (to up the basic metabolic rate; even at rest you will be burning fat
l. High intensity exercise (interval training) in biking. 30 secs of high intensity efforts; one minute rest, 5 to 8 reps
2. For other exercises do the exercise longer; say you do an exercise for 4 seconds, double the time make it 8 seconds. You will get stronger and fitter.

Just as anticipated, it will still rain today. It is all ready 730 and despite the fact that the pump, spare interior, the toolsets, the jersey, the bike, the water bottle, the gloves are ready, all we can do is fume and maybe just ride the stationary biker.
I hope the weather gets better tomorrow.
What are you going to do today, Recyclists? Fellow biker?
Just watch TV?

I just watched the TV and learned that typhoon signal No 2 is up over MM and there would be rain tomorrow due to Typhoon Gorio. Will rains continue tomorrow?
Shall we just do with the stationary trainer?

I biked for two consecutive days: June 27 and 28 2013

Rizal PHL June 29, 2013
I biked for two days: Thursday and Friday. They are recovery rides. I rode up to Tanay km 54 last Thursday and yesterday up to Cainta Greenland and Greenwoods in (where else) Cainta. It was surprising that in Cainta Greenland, there too was Jasmine cor Magnolia; as there was too in Greenwoods Cainta.
The ride yesterday dirtied me and my bike; it rained the previous night and there were plenty of puddles especially at the Delta area.
The village enclaves were tree lined, were shady and it was quiet and peaceful
Wide roads and avenues
Pine trees; many houses are being built

Will you have this bracelet? Made from Mavic spoke
Ernie, who joined us at the June 23, 2013 ride to Pansol showed us this bracelet. It is made from twisted Mavic spokes, nice isnt it? He has given several to some Recylists all ready especially to VM. It costs P100.00 if you want to acquire one.

How does biking affect the local economy? I think it affects the places that bikers visit. When it is not a biking day, the places we visit are dead - very little business.
At Pisong Kape, we would have probably ordered before 7 am yesterday about P1,000.00 plus in terms of softdrinks, lugaw and sports drink, and banana. At an average of P40.00 per, we would have bought P1,200 worth of food. At the buko store, the 31 or so cyclists buying P20.00 each would have bought P600.00 worth. That could have provided enough income for the family for the day.
At Manay's we paid Pl,100 for canton and monay; this excludes softdrinks
Food and drinks gone in a little under 5 minutes at Manay's
x
Several thousands more were spent at the hot spring resort
P12.00 for a banana at Pisong Kape, masyadong mahal?

Buko - nomics at bike routes
Real Cyclists
Laguna PHL June 23, 2013
Buko in Calauang: P12.00 for large and P6.00 per small plastic cupful
We have heard about burger- nomics (prices and economy based on burger prices) or bottled water economics , or petronomics (where price of petroleum determines price and economic activity.
The prices of these products determine parity of value and exchange rate.
17 a pice even
Thus if you a Big Mac in US at $3 each, then it should be about P120 to 140 locally. (that is burger eoconomics)
Bottled water economics. A 500 ml bottled water cost P20.00 in the PHL but that would be at the same outlet (711) cost P40.00 in PHL currency.
What about buko - nomics? The price of buko reflects the supply and demand situation in the market. Thus in December, buko would cost P15 to P17.00 each because many of them are either exported or used in buko salad. The price would also reflect the abundance of the buko, or the ownership of buko. tree. Thus a coconut tree owner in Jalajala would sell his buko for only P10.00, At OL, buko would be at P15,00 each. In Bugarin it is at P12.00. At Mabitac it is only P10.00
The buko juice vendor could not keep up with the demand

Taking of photos took much of my time and distracted me from joining the fast paced cycling which sometimes reached speeds of up to 40+ per hour. It was a solid peloton and I was the only one left. And these were my alibis.
However, I learned that I they arrived at l2:00 exactly and was late by mere 2 minutes. Angel fetched me and the site was nearly across the Max Fried Chicken in Calamba. And I hesitated and I had to make a call to verify.
