Oh my goodness. So much drama today. So embarrassing. Multiple cramping episodes and one great fall... just walking* up a steep incline.
Scraped one elbow.
I wasn't even pushing my heavy #bike... or any bike. 🤦♀️
One of the gents had offered to push my bike up the hill. I was going to get his light bike and push it. Didn't even get to his bike. I just fell. With a cramping right calf. That was not fun. 😐
I opted to take a tricycle* up the steep hill. It was 50 pesos well-spent. 👍
@evelyn The cramping might have happened because your body needed fuel during the ride. Check up on eating and drinking while on rides, especially the longer ones. There are different kinds of things people will eat while riding in order to increase energy and prevent cramps.
Don't feel too bad about it though. Happens to everyone now and then. 😉 🚴
During my 84km ride (15-hour day ride), I consumed:
2 700ml bottles of water
2 600ml bottles Mountain Dew
1 iced Vietnamese coffee with milk
1 ham pastry of some sort
1 🐷🍳🍚 meal (only ate half the serving of rice, it wasn't good)
1 🍌 con hielo 🧊
about 1.5 glasses of water
I'm ±62 kilos. Average-ish. Normal BMI with a tendency to overeat. 🙊
