[QUOTE="GeoffersTaylor, post: 1839087, member: 195160"] Hi there, I'm recently gotten back into cycling after many many years off ([I]recently divorced and the lady I've started seeing is a triathlete![/I]) My fitness is coming along nicely and I'm building distance. Nothing crazy - 20-25 miles at 12-14mph is about my limit. But I did "bonk" quite hard on one ride recently so I'm wondering what I might be able to use for in-ride snacks. I'm on a LCHF diet to help manage my T2 diabetes. I also take a small amount of metformin but nothing else. My BG levels are generally in normal range unless I get lax on carbs. I've started to carry a handful of mixed nuts on rides and some electrolytes in water. I'm very wary of energy bars and the like - I don't see much point in them if I can't metabolise the sugars. I haven't done any BG testing pre & post-ride. Would that be worth doing and what should I look for? And finally, whilst I'm writing, can anyone point me to where I can read about aerobic/anaerobic training? Thanks in advance [/QUOTE]
