Very true about the recovery meal. Since these days my rides are pretty low intensity, I'd forgotten about that, but the recovery meal is really critical for me after any run of more than a couple of hours. Supposedly the window for replenishing muscle glycogen starts closing half an hour after your workout and ends about two hours later. If I don't get a good recovery snack (they say 4:1 carb : protein is ideal), then like Owlie I will be completely ravenous for three or four days afterward, and my training will also be affected.
