Bonking isn't just about long rides

Congrats Corsair!!!! Exactly right! You did what I would have done- and look how good you felt!

I also do a post recovery drink- right now it's Endurox 4 (I think) from Performance. That also seems to help the next day.

One more thing everyone, just because you finish a ride doesn't mean you stop drinking! Keep the fluids going as that will help also.

Yeah, drinking afterwards is a vital part of recovery - heaps of water, and maybe some recovery drink after a big ride...

My partner and some of his riding mates use a colustrum powder after particulalry big event races to help with muscle repair too.

But water is vital, important and necessary... oh. btw, did I agree with Bike Goddess... replacing fluid is somewhat important!
