It's a bit of a jump in bg to 11.5 but it recovered well after the ride. Maybe reduce the amount of porridge or try something a bit more protein based like scrambled eggs on toast and see how you get on with that?

Well done on the ride. I sometimes wish it was as flat as that around here. :D I've 'followed' you on Strava in case you were wondering who that weirdo was! :D:D

Well done.
 
Well done Haggis! I can't even ride a bike, I wouldn't get far! 😱 Why are you sitting there reading this? Get out there and train! 😱 😉 🙂 Seriously, good luck, I hope the training goes really well 🙂
 
A good friend of mine has just peddled from the ferry to Paris. He is very fit & owns a bike shop. A nutter & a half 😎. 1 sat nt he finished in his shop 5pm & peddled to Keswick along the c2c, was there before 10 then 7am set off to go back to the NE. Double mad. Go Haggis ! 😎
