Is motor doping possible? Are there riders doing this?

Maybe senior riders need this.    How can we access this technology.  Pity the seniors with their bad knees.  

How to be ready in case of heart attack a timely advice for seniors

Wheels of Happiness

It is a deadly condition and many do not survive the attack.   So the post I saw had preparations and countermeasures:

1.   Cough self  resuscitation:   breathe and cough

'2.   Have aspirin ready to remove clots.  Aspirin can take effect soon

3.   Make it easy for paramedics:   post your conditions near phone,  write your home address and unlock door.

4.  Make your home easily identifiable by rescuers to save time.   There is a very narrow window to survie a heart attack

5.  Ingest nitroglycerin under the tongue to vasodilate blood vessel and remove the clots.  

My daugther sa said it is not the post to watch before sleeping but I did.   It is reality we must face.

Rain, rain, go away; exercises for Seniors at the comfort of home

It has been raining straight for almost a week.  Cant bike yet.   With medical diagnosis and the weather, it is safe to stay at home

Have to be content with calisthenics, and free weight exercises.

End the "amoy lupa for seniors"

Wheels of Happiness

After watching several videos on this topic some of the advice are:

Internal;:

1.  Drink plenty of water.   You need to hydrate to expel the toxins and waste products in your body;

2.  Exercise and sweat for at least 30 minutes a day to expel waste products in your body.

External:

3.  Take a bath daily

4.  Invest in a loofah to scrub the hidden parts of your body:   groin, armpits

5.  Change your clothes often.

6.  Change your bedsheets and comforter weekly

7.  Use deodorant and body wash often.

8.  Gargele brush teeth gums often

The body smell has something to do with change in the composition of skin oil which now smells rancid.

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

Riding stronger (and maybe faster)

Wheels of Happiness

This post rode up to Bugarin KM 69, and Nanay Rina last Tudesday, using 50 chain ring, and 28 cogs until KM 66, and  50 x 32 up to KM 69.   That is quite hard gear

Before I used to climb Bugarin at 34 or 36 x 28, or 30t.  But now as a senior, I climb up using hard gears.  They say that is the best way to get stronger.  And feel like young again.   Stopping or getting lazy or easy will not do anything for your physique.  You will get weaker, you get osteoporosis, and back pains

Must exercises for senior

Wheels of Happiness

I have seen my brother in law, only 3 years older than me, having difficulty and even emergencies at times because of leg and thigh weaknesses.   So it must be caused by lack of exercises.

So it is best to have must exercises:

1.  Sit ups

2.  Lunges, 

3.  Push ups

        Bennie V, 63 year old fmr insurance exec, now retired

On the way back from Pisong Kape as I was saddling up, two riders one in MTB and the other on a road bike, one was wearing red (the MTBiker) and the other on a Riddley carbon with aero wheels, whizzed by.  I tried to give chase on the way up the Pililla hill but they got far and was able to get near at KM 58 (about 1 km away) I interviewed the MTB who said he came from Morong (nakapark pala ang sasakyan nila sa Morong)   The one who was pulling the ride was Bennie, a 63 yo senior from Quezon City.  He used to be an insurance executive and was embarking on a health journey.  He did Sierra Madre all ready.

I tried to drop the two at San Fabian (near the Morong Baras boundary hill) by standing with my hand on the drops.  And then past the Lagundi intersection. I stopped by in front of DPWH for picture taking.  Bennies son, Ilo was all ready there.  He is a triathlon athlete

                    Ilo, his son, and brother Eli

   Another senior I met at Antipolo church last wee, Abe 66, he is from Pasig City

A day of meeting fellow seniors July 27, 2014

Rizal Philippines  July 28, 2014

Yesterday I biked to Antipolo City.  This is the first time in 3 weeks that I attempted to ride up Antipolo again after I had painful and swelling feet.  You really appreciate the things that you enjoy and have like ability to walk, ride and be ambulatory on your own, after you experience pain and sickness.  Thanks Lord I am well again.

I attended the mass when I arrived in Antipolo at about 7:15 and caught the Gospel until the end of the mass.

I met the following seniors after the mass:

Domingo Nicolas from Marikina who is 63 (same age as me) He said the Nicolas rider is a relative, and the famous Sicams are riders too.  He has been riding for a long time.

Ado from San Mateo, 66.  Both are mountain bikers.  I met him while eating lugaw at C Lauis.  THey are are of course very strong and young looking.

ON the way home, I decided to visit a barkada (hahaha) who is now 83 but has a bum and painful knee (just like Eraps case;  he is bowlegged  -  the cartilage gave way due to incessant pounding.)   He was advised against having an operation (agree).  He was happy that I visited him after 6 years.  He was tennis buddy and more.

Are seniors have been? Are they good just for exercise?

Our senior friends we met at Pisong Kape

Are senior citizens just good for making "padyak" and getting a breath of fresh air, or can they still ride competitively?  Can they still get faster and stronger?

                                 The biker at the right can still stay at the paceline
