@Kelp2112 . I have to admit your first post did get me wondering.
Velothon Walez. Initially I thought it was a condition :) . On looking at the post I then decided it was a bike race........in Poland:). A google search of velothon walez, led me to velothon wales. Revisit your post and wow I then see the Welsh flag. It took me a while but I got there in the end:).
If I'd have seen this post first then it wouldn't have been half as much of an interesting evening.:)
Congratulations and well done.
Any times??????????:)

Hypos, rude people, ignorance and grey days.
Well done @Kelp2112 great effort - how did you manage your insulin through this ?

I’ve just come back from a 45 minute ride - my bg levels were going up and up and have managed to knock them back into shape - amazing what a quick burn can do !

After about an hour into the ride i was 9.1 and going down, i had a Sis gel and continued, another hour later i was 6.5 and level another gel, at 12.39 i was 7.1 level and had another gel, at 13.16 when i had finished the ride i was 6.3 level. So not to bad really.
