4 Sisters resto -  mura masarap pa.   More affordable compared to food stops near the peak.

I checked the Google Maps and I found out that Urdaneta to San Fernando  La Union is 97.2 km
If we leave Urdaneta by 6 am.  We might be there in 4 to 5 hours or say 10 to 11 am. I will be requesting some of the staff of the  business we have there to prepare light food and snack for the kapadyaks

Hungry bikers at Betchay resto near Lemery

Bike rides bring in a large amount of business to stores serving cooked food.  Like yesterday to  Betchay Restaurant near Lemery and Tito Vi  at Paliparan.  They could easily sell a thousand for cooked food and P500 for drinks.  The thirsty and hungry hordes of riders need food and drinks to tank up. Say for drinks alone:    P50 x 20 riders = P1,000.00 and the Recyclists were not the lone riders yesterday.  At Betchay, for lunch, we would have spent P100.00 each and that would amount to P2,000 sales just for our batch.

Aling Betchay was ill prepared to handle our arrival.  The orders came late.  Our sabaw came as we finished our meal.  The coke order I had did not come.  So they must work harder in taking down orders and making sure the orders are served.   Tito Vi I think did a better job of serving our orders.

They make large money on drinks.  The P10 coke sells for P20.  That is a hundred % margin.  Rice sold for P15 each. (We buy from other local point2 for only P5.00 each)

                                 She knows her order and is very efficient

June birthday celebration at Golden view hot springs in Los Banos, June 23, 2013

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?

20 Health Tips on Food as Medicine

Biking and health

Nutrition as related to sports is a very important topic, especially in biking. At over hour into a bike ride, the body starts getting into negative reserve energy level and thus must be replenished.  Taking in Vitamins and minerals can not help in rides. You have to eat.  Otherwise you bonk.

Thus the carinderia, the lugawan make good money on us especially those who on long rides.

There is another important topic:  food and health, and food as medicine.
