Took the day off work today for a fasting blood test at the hospital first thing this morning so managed to get out this afternoon for a ride. Weather was glorious - sunny, dry but a bit breezy. Actually felt quite warm in the sun. I headed into the Cheshire lanes and back through Congleton and Biddulph Moor - hilly! Things were going fine until a hypo on the way back that knocked the wind out of my sails. Ended up with a rubbish average speed. 🙄 I'm blaming the fasting blood test for putting things out of kilter in terms of food and timings rather than my own incompetence - I half expected issues of some sort. 🙄
Strava stats are 41.6 miles completed at an average speed of 13.9mph and elevation gain of just over 2100 feet.
Levels as follows: at start 9.4 mmol/l, at 11 miles 8.9 mmol/l, at 22 miles 7.4 mmol/l, at 30 miles 2.8 mmol/l (oh dear) 😱, at 34 miles 5.6 mmol/l, at 38 miles 6.2 mmol/l and back home 8.0 mmol/l. I had 3 gels, malt loaf and energy/protein bar.
It's all here on this one - Jodrell Bank radio telescope, random verge daffs and stubble maize field.
Hard work in the breeze but glad I made it to the top! Near Biddulph Moor. (Sheep to the right of photo)
Garmin (still need to get that Jeyes 🙄)
