Type II using a Mini Med Paradigm pump. I'm fairly resistant but have found I can completely suspend while doing 20 mile rides and that includes a 44gm snk along the way. ( I have to eat or go low ) Anyway, I would feel confident touring with my pump along doing maybe 30-40 miles a day. Base what you do according to your BS checks, which you should do fairly often as you go along until you get a feel for how your body reacts during different times of the day. I go high during the morning hours and then drop rapidly between 1pm to about 4pm, then I tend to go up again. Be careful and ride safe.
( If your ever faced with having to use a pump don't hesitate. They can free you up tremendously, and only 1 stick every 3 days. )
