My body seems to want to nap after a bigger ride too, or when I ride a bit more than usual on a given day.

So, I'll curl up in my favorite chair, with my blankie, and start some knitting, until I nod off. DH will be watching TV, and keeps after me: KNIT dammit! My body has a hard time beating the war for the nap (it tries hard, and he tries hard to wake me, dang it!) This means my lovely nap gets interrupted a lot, and takes much longer to accomplish than it would if he'd just let me nap!

Seems hard to wake from my post-ride naps, but when I grab a handful of salty crunchies, either nuts or some kind of chips, what an amazing cure! To that, I add some gatorade-type beverage, usually Propel...

Think a salty snack and electrolyte beverage might get you back in the game?
