[QUOTE="Auckland Canary, post: 1183772, member: 70613"] As a very regular cyclist I can't recommend pumps enough. You may not want one because you think they are a pain to wear them all the time but I can assure you this is a very minor inconvenience that you very quickly get used to. At the moment I am training to do the London Surrey Ride 100 next month and am currently averaging about 150 miles a week. This weekend I did 70 miles in just over 4 hours without having a break. I left the house with a BS of 5.2 and got back at 6.5. I have managed to develop a routine for these rides of reducing my basal by 20% for the duration of the ride and taking on board about 30-35g of carbs per hour with no bolus. This works for me probably 4 out of 5 times without having hypo's. It's obviously not a complete solution but if you add it in with Libre or CGM it can become a very powerful tool. I can't really afford those at the moment but my pump helps n end for these big rides. Worth thinking about and chapeau with the Alpine climbs [/QUOTE]
