The thread on chill has got me thinking about food.

What’s you favorite post ride meal? (not including energy gels, powders or any other space food)

Mines a home made lamb burger, potato wedges and salad.

milk in the car park,

then a pastie or similiar driving home, often with hula hoops to follow

then lots of beer when home and washed, bike cleaned etc.

At the weekend it’s usually day after, cold homemade pizza.

What ever I can lay my hands on within 30 minutes of packing the car up on a trip 😆

Anything I can find, I’ve noticed that I’m also very hungry for several days after riding (even if I haven’t been riding *that* hard), currently trying to resist temptation to eat more otherwise I’m going to get fat!

Bacon and boursin sarnie, glory.

I’ve been trying to eat good stuff after riding recently. Last couple of rides have been followed by a mix of puy lentils, baby spinach leaves, spring onions, quinoa and sugar snap peas all covered in a good slug of well seasoned olive oil and a pint or two of water.

Seems to do the trick although I got very emotional when somebody mentioned haribo the other day.

Grilled mackerel on toast

Kebab 😆

and cider 😉

Works mid ride too!!

Egg and bacon butty. Drool….

Om nom nom

😉

Beans on toast with grated cheese under the beans, washed down with a big mug of tea.

I’m also a bit partial to a bag of Bombay mix to tide me over for the trip home if needed.

Steak and Ale pie with veg, potts and thick gravy.
If i cant get that then a big plate of BBQ Spare Ribs with Chips and onion rings.

Pork crackling … yes …

When I was living at “home” my mom always used to cook a roast on a Thursday whick coincided with my night ride night so it was ride, shower and a big fat roast. Now it’s more likley to be plenty of milk and something light followed by a good brecky in the morning.
