    Every time I go for a good rip on the bike, I always get a inexplicable craving for beer on the way home. This usually ends with me drinking twice what I have just burned off, and is somewhat blunting my efforts to get fitter by cycling more!

    Don’t have this problem when I play other sports, just mtbing? Anyone else aware of this phenomenon?

    Same thing happened me on Saturday. The missus sent the father-in-law down to collect me, ended up coming down herself when there was no sign of either of us 3 hrs later

    Haha – Im at 5 miles per pint, and did an extra five miles today so I could have an extra ‘reward’

    All rides should end at the pub!! Even better if it’s within a mile or so of home so you don’t have to drive.

    Actually there was some study recently what showed that drinking beer post-exercise actually aids faster recovery.

    I find that if I have a pint or two after a long ride, I suffer far less from cramp. Seems to work very well indeed.

    Jeeze, if me and Psychle had applied that approach on our London to Brighton Wunundred, we’duv ended up in A+E! 😆

    All rides should have 2 or 3 pubs stops or 2 or 3 pints at the same pub, makes no difference! 😀

    Nope. My body is the proverbial temple when it comes to post-exercise alcohol. Easy to avoid the stuff when on my own, but usually different with mates.

    Jeez you lot, I think if I drank every ride I’d feel like a bit of an Alchy TBH…

    Last time I had a pint it was a couple of weeks ago; 1 pint on the return leg of a 40 mile loop ~2.5 miles from home, with some chips…

    I did notice less cramp after but by the 10mile/Pint logic I should have had 4, Nah the rest of the day would have been a write off….

    Did Callendar to aberfoyle recently with a pub stop at the halfway point(aberfoyle). 4 pints turned me into a downhill maniac on the ride back through queen elizabeth forest park! Might try it for sundays uplift!

    My night ride involves a pint at half way and 3x at the end, one mile from home off road. 3 or 4 times a week.

    Why else would you go for ride in the middle of the night?
    That’d be just weird.
