Hello from Texas

Hello....As you can see new to the forum!! I just started cycling this summer and really enjoying it. I am 41 and live in the Fort Worth/Dallas area. My wife and I are training for the Hotter than Hell next year and have several upcoming biking events that include 30 and 80 mi treks. Im riding daily for an average of 15-25 miles. Getting more endurance, but hating the wind
I tend to get winded towards the end of the ride on certain days, but feel like that is improving. I am diabetic type I and the toughest challenge is keeping my Blood Sugars up. When they drop its like hitting a brick wall. I have to stop check BS and then adjust. Kinda pain in the butt.

Good to be hear and look forward to meeting others
