Team Blood Glucose are hosting a cycle ride around Box Hill in Surrey on the 6th July. Free and open to all, there will be three levels of ride difficulty, so it doesn't matter if you're a cycling newbie or a pro - you'll be made to feel welcome.
For more information go to http://www.teambloodglucose.com/TeamBG/Box_Hill_Cycle_Ride.html

 
Not long to go now!
Anyone who fancies joining a cycle on the 6th July - three rides to cater to different fitness levels.
An opportunity to have a fun day out riding and perhaps more importantly an opportunity to share and learn about blood glucose control with exercise.
For anyone who lives locally but doesn't cycle, you may want to use the opportunity for a pleasant day out walking - and meet up with us at the Box Hill cafe. A number of the cyclists will be stopping off there on the ride sometime between 11.30am and 1pm.
 
Hi guys!
@Andy12345 @RosieDred @Brightside @mo1905 and friends (those of you who can make it) not long to go now!
We will be meeting up on Sunday morning in Dorking train station car park at approx 9.30am
Look out for people milling about in TeamBG kit - there will be a number of us coming!

Really looking forward to seeing you!
Any issues on the day - delays etc, just let us know by using the contact number on the TeamBG website.http://www.teambloodglucose.com/TeamBG/Contact.html

So back home again....great ride really enjoyed it.....perhaps next time we can start earlier ....less traffic and then we may be able to finish the whole course....
just to show how exercise helps sugar levels....woke up this am 7.9....naughty me tucked into the kids sweets yesterday evening....anyway 41.46km (25.9 miles) burned 982 kcal's and sugar now 4.4.....

heres a link to the ride including my heart rate which went through the roof going up that "ruddy hill"

Thanks folks for organsing pls let me know when and where for the next one!
 

Great to have you with us Brightside!
The return journey back down into Dorking was far easier (though perhaps that had something to do with the flapjack!) We'll keep you posted as to the next event - in the meantime, keep up the great work!
 
well done guys

i promise to be at the next one, wearing my hot pants
 
So I've gone and done it now! Put my name down and paid me money for two stages of the mhealth tour!

I'm either nuts stupid or just plain crazy!

Get in touch with teamBG now! Let's get your rider profile up on the site and let's see what we can do to help support you.
If you're doing the last two stages, I'll see you in Vienna when you arrive! You'll already know some of the riders too. I am just Sooooo chuffed! It's going to be epic!
