Still feeling a little beat down tired, but went for a ride today after a LONG day in the office anyway. I lowered my basal rate to the typical 55% reduction at 17:18 in preparation for the ride start an hour later.
Ride was just ok. I am just tired. It took some effort to stay focused and up to speed, and, of course, my ipod went dead about half way in.
Still managed a quality 2+ hour ride on the Kona 29er SS. Intake of 2 PowerBar Gels per hour, but a little behind on the water with only 20oz taken in total.

Set the basal rate back to normal at 20:37 as I was cruising back to the car.
Earlier this week I mentioned how crazy busy the next couple of weeks were going to be. Here's the run down:
This Friday night, K and I are going to go to a friends house (who needs to stay nameless right now) to have a cookout with a handful of local riders and Independent Fabrication factory rider Harlan Price. He is in town for the TORC Mountain Bike Festival and Race for a few days.
On Saturday there is the TORC festival, and I am racing from 3pm-9pm at the endurance race being held there.
Sunday morning there is a recovery mountain bike ride with some of the people in town for the Festival.
On Monday I am traveling to Ft Bragg in Fayetteville to speak at two sessions to diabetic soldiers and their families. I am both psyched and nervous about this presentation. The members of the armed forces who are serving in combat roles while having Type 1 diabetes are in a situations I can't even imagine. I hope to share some of my experiences with them, and I hope that some of them apply to what the need.
Then... next weekend I am supposed to head off to Atlanta to race a 12 hour at Conyers, GA. More on that later.
Also, look for one of the announcements I have been hinting at to made early next week. It is big one, and opens the door for a great two way relationship. I am very psyched, and can't wait to let you know.
Gotta roll for now!
