I think it's considered 2 hours or more. A LBS hosted a nutrition talk here recently by a registered dietician. It was pretty informative. She recommended a book by Liz Applegate, The Encyclopedia of Sports and Fitness Nutrition. Ms. Applegate is also a RD, PhD, professor, and best of all a cyclist. I haven't purchased the book yet, but plan to. I had been riding to eat, now I want to eat to ride.

I don't actually know, but from what little I do know about cell metabolism, it seems to me that intensity should be much more important than duration to how much you deplete your glycogen stores.
Good question, though, I'm interested in learning more about this.

This is a great question! I've searched google, general sports sites and some medical sites. I can't find any mention of the amount of time spent exercising that would require a specific post exercise recovery meal. All of the articles talk about the time frame to having the meal not the amount of time you have to exercise for the meal to become important.
