Memories - due to trending birthday wish of the kapadyak -Kara David - "death to corrupt officials"

Wheels of Happiness

Recollection of 3 days and 3 night with the famous story teller and birthday wisher- death to the corrupt

Divine justice for the corrupt:  no more need for people power, or protests NBI, ICI or ICC.  Suddent death to the corrupt  "Mamatay sana kurakot"

One becomes frightful if there are doubts of being corrupt or immoral in your life (babaero kaya?)

An unknown blogger, BA - TJ sent questions regarding seniors biking

Wheels of Happiness

An unknown blogger, netizen DM me 9 point questions regarding biking for seniors.  Though I do not know much about him, and the qurestions were straight forward, I answered him promptly.  I told him too that I was with Kara David in 400 km bike ride to Bicol

The questions center on benefits of biking, and how biking should be:

1.  Biking develops posture, you dont stoop or do duck walk;

2.  Better breathing 

3.  Long life

4.  Lesser maintenance medicine

5.  Being more positive, happier

6.  Having stronger bones.  

     The theory is that brittle bones is not caused solely by lack of Vit D and Calcium but by weaker muscles.   So you have to exercise if possible using weights.    Lifting weights develope muscles which makes bones stronger.

7.  Freedome from Sarcopenia.  As we age, our muscle mass depletes.  Only exercise can partially stop that or stop that.   

So bike more exercise more

Going by plane to Legazpi City, Albay which I biked before in November 2022

Tomorrow will be joining the family to visit Legazpi City, Daraga,  Misibis Bay.   Misibis bay

We biked this in 3 days for the 400 km adventure.  We will be there in just under 1 hour.  What a big difference.  We missed the Mayon 360 by 7 days.     Tsk tsk tsk.  Sayang

Exploding number of loopers, group rides to Bicol noted

Wheels of Happiness

It has been noted that there are increasing number of loopers:   among them Jhong Saba, Rocky Raquedan,  Bike Mike.   and bike rides to Bicol

It may be too presuming that part of this is inspiration from this GMA I witness documentation.

Kaya ba ng ordinary mortal/biker?  Kaya ba ng mga seniors.  That is a great feat for a senior.  Many seniors I met said that any senior can ride but not 150 km in a day, or multi stage ride like the one we did.   It was a first time I rode with non age group bikers.   Having three generation of riders together was a first time experience

Right now nearly two years after, the number of views is 1.2 million.

It was a great honor and privilege to have been part of this ride
