Just a quick one
While on cycle and suffering water retention would the extra compunding of the blood vessels make your more at risk from a DVT if you had to go on a flight?

I think that the water retention will increase blood volume but not viscosity, therefore actually slightly lowering the thickness of the blood.
HOWEVER, the increased erythropoesis and therefore RBC count, will act to make the blood thicker and slightly more prone to coagulation.
So, stay hydrated. Walk the aisles ever hour. Elevate your feet periodically. DO NOT drink alcohol. Consider taking 1/2 sapirin every 4 hours, to reduce platelet aggregation.
