Really rainy season is here; end of El Nino

Wheels of Happiness

It rained yesterday,  late evening and even early morning today.    

No bike ride again.    No use daring to ride out in the rain.   The risk of moisture entering the hubs, bottom  bracket, and headset.   Risk of rusting the bearings, and disassembly and cleaning, regrease is in order to prolong durability of the bike

Keep safe kapadyak.    

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.
