73 miles ride in the cold







Weather: No rain, wet air, wet roads, average temperature 49.
Ride start 11:30am
Goal: 70 to 80 miles, average speed 17
Blood sugar levels: 98 at start
Issues during ride: Could never keep my sugar above 85 according to CGM. Tested at 2:20pm and got a 92.
Food intake before ride: about 130gr
Food intake during ride: about 200gr
Total insulin during ride:1.2 units
Total insulin intake: 8.8 units
Feeling: low energy during entire ride.

Conclusion: Again, when cold and even just wet air, should start higher than 100. Or I can't seem to keep the sugars in for energy as they are probably being eaten up to stay warm.
