Ironically, I am the most hungry for the rest of the day on rides under an hour and a half. Over 2 hours and I'm fine. And I have to say the reason is that I plan better and take in more carbs on the bike if I know I'm going to be out for more than 2 hours because I don't want to bonk out in the pickers.

I was just reading an article in Bicycling magazine that says: "you need to take in .455 grams of carbs per pound per hour on the bike" to prevent bonking and to improve your proformance. I wish they would have specified how much protein you needed as well.

They also went on to give the following recipe for a post 2 hour ride drink:
- 25 grams of whey protein isolate
- 70-100 grams complex carbs (1.2 kilogram of body weight. Look for a maltodextrin powder)
- 8 oz. grape juice or other sugary liquid
- 1 banana
- 1 cup frozen fruit
- 8 oz. water.

Blend all until smooth and it makes 3 cups = 1 serving. Drink within one hour of finishing your ride. I haven't figured it out, but it calls this a high calorie munition without stating the number of calories. I personally drink chocolate milk after a ride and don't know how this stacks up. Just thought it was interesting and appropriote to the topic.
