hey, that was my answer! Well, the everything part, anyway...Originally Posted by softthings
Loves me a chai latte right after a ride though. Incredibly refreshing, surprisingly refreshing, don't you know.

Chocolate milk. It's my go-to recovery drink.
Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.

If there's leftover pasta, that's what I'll have. And low sodium V8.
That rule about within the first half hour is important. Even if you feel like you don't want to eat, get some carbs in right away.Each day is a gift, that's why it is called the present.

It depends on how long a ride it was. If it was a longer ride (>40 miles) then chocolate milk and potato chips at the end of the ride. Often I will have a small cooler with me in the car and I will already have ch. milk/chips with me - OR a Trader Joe's low fat chocolate yogurt parfait.
For a shorter ride I will just have some chocolate milk, for longer rides I will have more to eat when I get home - some carbs but more protein - it depends on how many carbs I had on the bike. I nibble for a little bit and then have a real good meal a few hours later - especially after a long ride. The body does need refueling after riding.. I have found this makes a real difference the next day as well, especially if I want to ride the next day. I make myself eat when I get home even if I don't really want it.
After this week I will be able to ride from home so will be able to change things up a bit.Last edited by Catrin; 10-23-2010 at 06:29 AM.

You gals are so lucky to be able to eat dairy. I am allergic which limits me terribly. Thank goodness for hemp milk, that truly has been a saviour.
Pasta does seem to be working for me pre and post ride.Lisa

I always found that I got a splitting headache if I didn't eat within 20 minutes of getting home. I started eating before I took a shower.
Salt, fat and protein are my friends. If I ride on the bike trail, there's a cafe right next to where I park. I drop the bike off in the car, use their bathroom, then get a sandwich, chips, water and a coke. (Can you tell I'm not counting calories here?) I did gelato once when it was too early for lunch. That...may or may not have been a good idea.
At least I don't leave slime trails.

Lisa, I'm not lactose intolerant but I still prefer soy milk (chocolate!) after a run/ride!
