Celebrating birthday with a long ride

Birthday cycling inspiration
I celebrated my 6 years after being senior last Tuesday by doing a long bike ride. I planned to do a one way ride equivalent to my age. So that would be riding up to Kalayaan (near the hydro power plant) However, right after I reached Mabitac (the plain after Bugarin) it started to rain and I had to turn back. I would have probably done only 45 km one way (21 km short) On the way back about 11 am, it was all ready to shot. The ride back going home took me 2.5 hours. I got a flat tire in Calumpang. There was no puncture but the patches probably peeled off during the extreme heat.
The extreme heat (I all ready saw blue as I biked near home) let me decide not to join the long ride to San Felipe on Saturday

I missed my ride to Real but not my ride mileage.

I did not join the tropa in their Real ride with overnight stay at Baywatch yesterday because of the fear of heat exhaustion. However this did not prevent me from having long rides yesterday and today. Yesterday I rode up to Biak na bato or Km 59 for 32 km ride one way or 64 out and back. Today, I rode near to Jala jala km 72 for 45 km one way or 90 km. That is a total of 154 km solo ride.
Today I did not miss the hot midday sun and the temperature could be around 40s. I am glad I survived that with plenty of water drinks and stops

It was so hot today in our ride that we had to drink and stop more

Stacks of glasses inviting us to get cold drink: water or BJ
We rode up to OL of Bugarin and the hotter part of the day caught up with us. It was so hot. I spent double on food and refreshment because was so hot. And we had to stop more. It was the only way to survive the very hot weather.
Of course I avoided the soft drink with BVO (that affects our brain cells that cause us to be forgetful; it was originally approved as fire retardant) and sodium benzoate.

Let us ride early to avoid being fried by the very hot (not warm) weather

Days are getting warmer if not hotter these days. I left early but delays in taking pictures for these posts delayed and soon the hot sun was frying my skin and making me feel dehydrated.
So I had to rest, take more drinks to overcome the heat. I had to ride fast too so that the wind would cool my face. I had to drench my face and my jersey with water from my bottle which too was hot enough to scald my skin.
