Daily Carb Intake Bolused For: 254g
Dialed the basal rate down to 45% of normal at 10:00 in prep for a 11:00 ride. Trials were open in Chapel Hill, so we put a small group together to go for a spin.
A few minutes before 11:00 I was ready to roll out of the parking lot at the UNC Wellness Center on the Paragon. For fun I mounted the helmet cam, and brought the hand held camcorder for today's ride. The weather was pretty decent with lots of sun, so I thought we could get some great shots of people doing wacky stuff since a camera was present. :)
I tested the BG right when I was rolling out and was hovering at 92. I ate 1/4 of a performance bar and adjusted my basal rate down to a 65% reduction.
Took me about 35 minutes to get to the meeting place over at Seawell Elementary School. George Scott (of mySwimBikeRun, 8Dot Graphics, and Dirt Dawg Biker fame) was there waiting with his Superfly 100. Lots of other riders and hikers were out as well enjoying the holiday weekend.
We put about 90 minutes on the trails, and then headed back to the school to meet Kir. We then all cruised and had a great time for about 2+ hours.
Trails were wetter than I guessed they would be and we avoided the ones that we know don't dry quickly. Some sections bone dry though...
After we got back at 15:30, George and Kirsten headed for home. I set the pump back to its normal 100% basal rate, and headed towards home. Took about an hour to get back home, and the BG was a nice 84. Doesn't get much better then that.
During the ride I did fall a little behind on the carb intake, and hence I was in the low 80s and not in the perfect 125 range. I did stay in the near 20oz of water with Nuun hydration schedule however. Felt great when done.
I captured some cool video of people going "hardcore" on their Superfly 100s. LOL!!
When I went to bed this evening I will set the regular post ride overnight temp basal rate to 70% of normal for 6 hours.
Hopefully be able to ride a bit tomorrow, before getting back to the "normal" working man's schedule next week. Out.....
