After a good ride what does everyone do?
I normally get home and have to start looking after the kids when I get in, meaning I don't really get any time to rest / recover effectively until I go to bed. I'm wondering if this is the reason why I keep picking up bugs after most rides (especially as I rode this week, no kids for two days and I feel fine)
Does anyone have a routine they do when they get in? i.e. just spend the rest of the day on the sofa?
usually go on the pi$$.
Crack one off
At the moment I have to clean the bike and myself before I enter the house or do anything! After this however, I have something to eat and drink and then usually go for a post-ride walk up the village or along the canal, seems to serve as a post-ride warm-down, I find it quite relaxing. How boring of me!
Head straight for the kettle / biscuits, then enjoy a smoke before commencing cleaning... Been off fags for 6 weeks now though, & post-ride is maybe the most missed time (If I think about it, which I don't 
)
Tea...lots of nice tea
After the obvious (cleaning etc) I do something with the kids...
My good lady has been kind enough to look after the little blighters whilst I've been enjoying myself so I try to give her some space to do what she wants for a couple of hours...
It's difficult sometimes after a hard ride if your're knackered but it's just part of the deal I guess.
sneak out while she's asleep usually 
Chuck stuff in washing machine > hot bath + read the papers > Relax
a "light ale" does the trick for me
i hang around with the riders and chat about the ride over chips and beer/drink
Cuppa, Shower & jim jams.
Oh and flip flops
Stuff in the washing machine, shower, eat cake. Mmm, cake. After that I commence shopping for new shiny bike bits online which I can't afford.
Jedi - that's the important part of the ride 
but the bit far too many don't allow time for.
clean and lock bike away
gear in washing machine.
shower.
beer.
eat myself into the ground.
