[QUOTE="Scott-C, post: 2058443, member: 374531"] It might be a mixture of things. Your bg was stable overnight, so basal seems ok, but maybe "foot on floor" rise kicked in pretty soon after you got up - my bg can easily go from 5 to 10 within an hour without 2u to pin it - then the effort of steering and tensing up muscles going round corners is kinda anaerobic "weightlifting" exercise and that's well known to generally raise bg, rather than lower like aerobic, then add in the adrenalin rush on top. I can totally understand the reluctance to bolus before a ride, especially without food, but maybe worthwhile considering a smidgin, 1 or 2u to tail things off a bit? Even a very small amount can be surprisingly effective while still in range, far less so once out of range. Libre/cgm might help assess when the rise is happening - for example, foot on floor is always pretty noticeable on my traces if I don't pin it first thing, or it might become apparent that it's not that, but later through the anaerobic stuff.
