Cycling 150 Miles with Type 1 Diabetes | Recap of the Texas MS150

I had the awesome opportunity to ride the MS150 - a two day, 150 mile fundraising race to help fund research to find a cure for MS. I rode with a great team and my experience was unforgettable! I will definitely be riding next year. I learned a thing or two while out on my bike about managing my blood sugar levels during really long exercises and wanted top share those here. If you have any questions I’d love to talk in the comments.

Thanks for sharing! Sounds like it was an awesome experience. I really found the insight Zach gave to be helpful, and will try this with some of my next big bike park days. Sometimes it feels that giving more grace in our management is the best choice, mentally and physically.

oooo that's a great way to put it, "more grace". There's a deep life lesson in that.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for the support.

Thanks for making this video. I’m def struggling with how to maintain bs on long endurance gravel rides. I was using shot blocks and it’s like they are useless. Is there a type of protein bar you recommend? Also how come you still use that pump and not an omnipod

I've always like Builder Bars.
At the time of this video I was on the Medtron 770 and nowadays I'm on the Tandem T-Slim. I considered an omnipod but I didn't like the bulk of the pod and it seemed like the general consensus was that Tandem was the best pump available. So far it's been way better than the 770g.
