Congrats on 30 miles! Past 30, I think the biggest challenge is being outdoors in the elements most of the day, and bringing the right foods. I've learned to love hill climbs, it tests your skill more than any other riding. When I'm climbing I focus on keeping a steady energy output, managing my cadence, and keeping the bike straight. It's rewarding when I get the pacing exactly correct and arrive at the top without feeling strained.
I have been working hard on my hill climbing this year, I still curse when I see a hill coming up on a long ride though. As for longer rides, yes to being out in the elements. I'm learning to reapply sunscreen every hour and to bring the right food. Fueling my body is the best way to get those miles in.
Keep having fun!
When you tour you’ll need a dedicated bag for food! Maybe go for some slower carbs like dates and figs? The fiber buffers the fructose and releases it slowly. I eat oatmeal and tons of nuts.
I've been doing a lot of reading around carbs and fiber, it does help a lot. I love oatmeal but it seems to upset my stomach. It's a tricky balance of fat carbs and protein when it comes to type 2. I've got an appointment coming up in a few weeks and I need to have a convo about the meds and how they work on my body I get the basics but I think when it comes down to touring it's going to be more complicated.
@@LessISMoreHealthy Figuring out that perfect balance is always a challenge; harder for persons with metabolic issues. When you tour and ride 6-8 hours a day, you burn through tons of calories and everything changes, it seems. I swear, I could eat just about anything!
Exactly! I find that for 24 hours after anything 25+ miles I can eat anything! I worry about the food overload at the end of the day though. I have trouble eating while I'm riding and not feeling sick afterward. My stomach is sensitive. I gotta test out some longer rides just around here where I eat and see what I can eat and not feel sick. I suspect it's going to be 100 cal here and there rather than sitting down and eating a meal.
Man are you brave!! I ride solo on non-maintained forest roads and foot trails. No people, no traffic, just me and whatever critters I am lucky enough to see. (I only see them when they "want" me to see them). Just looking at the kind of roads you ride on scares the daylights out of me.
Sometimes the urban roads scare the hell out of me. But most of the time I'm on bike lines and MOST drivers are pretty respectful. It's the rare person who isn't. New laws in my state mean they have to give me 4ft of distance and many cities have put up signs stating that. I think the camera makes it look like they are closer to me than they are.
And I have to say, I prefer the gravel roads without cars.
u should not need to eat if u ride is less than 3-4 hours this is different but this is pretty much the human standard for glycogen stores to be depleted
Type 2 diabetic on meds this changes things.
In the cycling world, to keep from hitting the wall, it's recommended to eat every thirty minutes
@@LessISMoreHealthy ahh that very correct a hard line to walk , do u have to trust ur sugar during to keep track , and adjust accordingly , would be impossible otherwise
I've been drinking an electrolyte with some sugar every 5 to 10 miles or so. I will look at setting a timer.
I have an appointment with my specialist in a few weeks. I'm going to have a chat with her about meds and how I might need to tweak them while on longer rides or tour. I tend to be pretty strict with my carb intake so my BG is right where it should be and a few times while out on longer rides it's gotten low enough to be scary. When it does drop is seems to drop fast. The bad part about that is that if I take in too many carbs it spikes, though when I ride it never seems to do that. The med helps to keep things stable and helps my body to know what to do with BG, but when I mentioned my longer rides to her and that I don't eat during them she pretty much told me I needed to eat during my rides and that she was worried about my BG tanking specifically due to the med I'm on.
