[QUOTE="ElyDave, post: 420295, member: 74042"] depends very much what I'm doing. For a club ten mile TT I don't find I need anything if I start high enough beforehand. A long club Sunday ride, or long ride out on my own is a different kettle of fish. Typically averaging 18-19mph on these I work with 15g carbs every 15 mins, or a 30g gel every half hour, keeps me right around 5.5-7. I stop and test every half hour or so. The thing I really have to watch out for is the post ride BG drop, but a good dose of carbs in the first half hour after finishing helps there. I also drop my basal and bolus before a long ride. As for Team NovoNordisk, I have gotten hold of one of their jerseys, and wear it with pride :mrgreen: Didn't know about team BG though, thanks. [/QUOTE]
