Are you real & fresh or are you processed ?

In our fast paced society, everything is instant. It is about pressing a button & you get it. It is a culture sold by America through Holywood. And today, we loose our life literally. We become a slave of commercialization & reap the result of PROCESSED, ie. Obessity & all sort of diet related sickness, not to mention, terminal disease. Jamie Oliver delivered brilliant speech about it. Check it out.
Mojo it will be hence on ? Mojo it will be hence on.

Pouding headaches, running nose, heavy head, sleepy, difficulties in breathing because of phlegm congested lungs, whizzing, fatigue…….on & on for 10+ days. Taking medicine religiously is just not helping. The last ride was 10 plus days ago. Bike is just collecting dust. It is never nice to not be in normal functional form. Seriously frustrating. Everything seems to need extra effort.
Sick of being sick, I decided to accept the invitation to test ride Thurs night new route @DPC. Jamie, Ling, EPS, MK & son, VC FFK king and myself. Ling yawned on the ride (i saw & hear it !!), EPS VP craving for surge & redline, not very courteous drivers, my nose was running, not sure to cough or to breath or to suck my mucus on the not tough climb. 4 loops later, we ended up @ Secret Recipe w alphabet fries, spaghetti and tripple ice-cream and followed by tonnes of “boring ride” complaints status in FB. LOL.
Less than 20km, not exactly a ride. Certainly don’t like how I feel on the climb. This sickening flu & cough has to GO !! EPS said everything is in the mind. To set the mind for speedy recover, I decided to use my half day on Fri to swap my crank & saddle. It was beautiful but I was having headache & feverish the whole day due to cough. Sick of being sick, I up the medicine dosage, told the gang am coming to ride with them & retired.
Seems like the right move. I woke up before the alarm rang. Felt better. @ Extreme Park, it was EPS VP, MKRAM, Tony, Alison, Ling, Jamie, Chris Hey, Chris another FFK king and Alp. Rolling out, 52 36 felt good. Mojo ? Maybe. The heart racing @ the slopes didnt happen. Because I was still recovering from flu & cough, Ling has a blardy ride, Jamie is still getting stronger, we decided to take the short route. We were joined by Chris & MKRAM. Ling pulled the speed to 39kmh @ one point. Makes me wonder if it is blardy power LOL.
Overall I felt better than Thurs. A good sign. Lets keep it that way. Lets have the mojo return in all aspects. Miracle it will be hence on, when you believe it.
