A regular ride for me is 40-60 miles at 15-16 mph. This one was 19 miles at 11 mph.

How many carbs do you take when you "boost?"

How so? Pre-Keto, I could do a 30 mile ride at 15 mph with no food or water. I've never used electrolyte supplements before either.

I take in more fat grams a day than protein grams.
