Poor weather caused the postponement of the blacksheep 'March madness audax'. To continue my RRTY I decided to do a repeat run of my cotswold DIY audax. I changed the route out to Pershore to avoid Redditch. I moved the final control from Stratford to Chipping Camden. This worked much better. There was a lot of surface water on the roads and as I cycled back to Birmingham in the dark it became difficult to judge the depth of the water on the narrow lanes. Paul phoned to warn of deep flood water on Icknield street, I'm glad I didn't cycle into that in the dark.
I almost didn't start this ride. I'd started a new glucose sensor the previous night and when I woke up in the morning it didn't seem to be working. There was missing data and the glucose results were erratic. After an hour the results seemed to settle down a bit and I got a continuous line on the libre reader. I left later than planned and the glucose sensor worked fine after this. Glucose control was generally okay although I did drop low in the last hour. I bought a cake in Chipping Camden (about 5:30pm) but didn't feel like eating all of it, my glucose was a little high (12) at this point, I injected 3 units for cake plus correction. I should have injected 2.5 units.
