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. πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ

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. πŸ‘

@evelyn more water 😊
@IoanSaid @evelyn ready- salted crisps and bananas
@wlukewindsor @evelyn I was wondering how to get salt in πŸ˜†
It's still early here
@IoanSaid @evelyn I used to get terrible cramp

@wlukewindsor @IoanSaid
Salted crisps? You mean potato chips? I like that remedy. πŸ˜ƒ

I did try to stay hydrated. I think it was due to overexertion. It's a new group to me and they ride faster. They did say it's okay to be slow and they'd adjust for me, but I was right behind the leader and we had a wide gap between us. I felt bad and tried to keep up. Overdid it. ☹️

And they didn't take enough breaks. That's one big different thing they do compared to my favorite #bike group.

@evelyn @IoanSaid yes salted chips it’s a winner
@wlukewindsor
Cool! πŸ˜ƒ Adding that to my list of things to bring/buy on a ride. πŸš΄β€β™€οΈ
