stretch and ride slowly, but really I make sure I'm properly nutrified before setting out. for me that means a meal way in advance, including caffeine, B6 & B12, then right before heading out either banana or a small box of raisins. I don't like to rush in the morning, I like a 2hr lead time.
also I've been checking my blood pressure at home and 1st thing in the morning on waking it's on the low side. I need to take out the trash, eat, coffee, do the cat litter, get stuff from my car, etc etc etc
