The final meal before the ascent to Julierpass.

For some reason this short hill made me pant. Never did work out why as the rest of the journey was all good.

Off road detour up the bank of the bank of Lai da Marmorera

Back on the road and headed for those mountains to the left.

IMG_3697

We are definitely on the right road! Excitement building.

Head down, low gear, dig in and enjoy!

I followed my progress on the satnav so I could prepare for the hairpin bend sections.

Another ski resort abandoned in the summer. It was her that I discovered I was not at the top but had an hour to go!

A bikes-eye view. Sometimes you just have to try to stay on the line!

About half way and enjoying the challenge of the ride. And the view.

One of many youthful waterfalls. On this side of the mountain it would likely empty into Bodensee and end up in Rotterdam.

Just around this bend is the summit of the Julierpass. I have made it!

There is nothing like a pose shot!

Wind in the hair fast descent to Silvaplana and then turn left to St Moritz.

A perfect picture. Silvaplana and its namesake lake. I remember how warm it suddenly was when I got close to the Engadin valley floor.

Kitesurfers having a great time in the wind that flows along the valley.

Finally at my destination to be greeted by my host and organiser of the Keto-Live.com conference, Josephine Barbarino.

IMG_3765

Yes, I have made it! 1000-plus miles keto and I am amazingly fit and well.

IMG_3766

My heart rate definitely shows the effort I did today. But my heart performed well.

A celebration of a happy and insightful journey. Lets hope I can pass on the knowledge to inform others about what other options they have in type 1 diabetes.
