Great job, John. Working toward a century later this year. The glucosomine is finally working on my knees, so it may be doable. Not sure I can keep up an 18+ pace though!

I did my first century of the season. 18.6mph ave. I was happy with that.

It's not a good thing when your nighttime BG is lower than the miles you rode the evening before! 35 miles on the road...25 BG at 1:30 am.

Leading out the chase group on an ugly day. 34 degrees, 25 mph headwind with snow. What a mess!

Got just 10 in this evening on the road bike with a group training for Ride to Beat Cancer. Cold and windy, but sun felt good.

Just rode El Tour de Tucson 111 miles in 4:47 placed 231 out of 2870.
Owe it all to pickle juice 3 oz during the ride no cramps.

So you have the syringes, and you might have the USPS kit with the yellow jersey. So isn't Lance Armstrong the natural costume for any cyclist with diabetes this Halloween?
Stick a few shots under your sleeve, sticking out of your jersey pockets or on your ear and you are done.
I would do it but that was already my costume a few years ago. Happy Halloween!

Sure I feel it, but it isn't a distracting feeling. Just feel like I'm working hard.

The Livestrong folks provided TONS of PB&J for everyone coming through the 7 "power stops", with the last 3 hit out and back. They also had a tray of jelly beans with a scoop, trail mix, assorted energy bars, etc.

I stuck to the PB&J at the rest stops, and while out on the ride I had a couple gatorade food products. I like both the gel and the chewy cubes. I probably had 4 whole PB&J. Afterwards I stopped at Wawa for a donut and a frozen coffee. I watched the CGM pretty closely all day and stayed between 120 and 150. At the point when the sugar dropped to 118, I suspended the pump, and then about an hour later it got back to 120 and stuck there.

Nice Job Mike. Do you feel your heart when it's gouing that fast? My max is 178. 4400 Calories what did you eat?
