So it turns out 4 hours of hard riding for 106km (66 miles or so) means I can eat almost anything =)
During the ride I ate one small serving of home-made trail mix (mostly nuts, some dried fruit and reeses pieces), one sandwich (made with 2 pieces of sprouted grain bread, meat, cheese, etc..), 2 oatmeal cookies, a big piece of cheese, and some strawberries.
Post-ride I ate a no-sugar protein bar immediately.
I got home and my wife was making spaghetti (normal everyday pasta, even) for the family. So I ate it. Didn't even think about being diabetic ... it was more like...
"Spaghetti! Nom Nom Nom!"
... and then I saw the garlic cheese toast ... (made with white-bread...)
"Garlic Cheese Toast!!! Nom Nom Nom!"
... and then I ate a bowl of ice cream ... full-fat, full-sugar ice cream...
I tested my blood sugar for about 4 hours after that. Highest I got to was a 6.6 (119) ...
Of course, I can't do that every day... But it's nice to know that I can treat myself after that kind of workout.
