Best recovery food post-ride

[michaelcycle]

And some really fat guys @jowwy who believe milk is a renowned recovery fluid.

He's right though innit?

Or specifically chocolate milk if you are involved in multiple glycogen depleting workouts in one day because it has a ratio of 4:1 carbs to protein as mentioned previously.

i like a fish finger sandwich on white bread... plenty of butter, with lashings of either ketchup or mayonnaise, followed by a packet of ready salted crisps... all washed down with the remaining fluids in my water bottles.

Best recovery food post ride?
What ever I can get my hands on and is within easy reach in the fridge.

Marmite on toast. It's scientifically proven to be full of marmitey goodness to fulfil your vitaminny needs and toasty toastiness for your shortfall of stodge, and has crumbs of carbon which is what some bikes are made of, and thus makes you one with the bike. (If you ride a steel bike you have to sprinkle iron filings on it).

Or have it with a piece of raw liver

Let's face it - most of us do not need to give much consideration to what makes 'good recovery food' anyway! We are just pootling about on our bikes and can eat or drink pretty much anything we fancy post-ride.

If we were competing at a high level then it might be more important. In which case - drink the aforementioned chocolate milkshake!

I use recovery shakes on the basis that milk may turn if left in the van all afternoon on a hot day while racing. For this purpose, myself and a group of 3 other serious racers in our club make bulk purchases of various 'ingredients' from myprotein and one of the lads mixes up recovery shake power. He also mixes up 2 different types of energy drink, one that includes some protein which we use during training, and I use toward the back end of a long road ride and one without (as the protein lays heavy on the stomach and makes you feel sick at race efforts). Sometimes add caffeine to the race mix.

At home, I drink chocolate milk, the pre-mixed stuff in 1L cartons from Tesco or Sainsburies, 2 for £2.

High carb vegan. Armstrong was vegan diet for most a convicted drug cheat for all of his TdFs. Including post cancer. I could name more

Should we all be carrying out blood transfusions before a big ride as well to boost our red blood cell count ?
