As the title says.
Just got back in from a ride and stuffed 2 bags of crisps, a sausage roll and big glass of full fat coke down my neck.
All my good work undone!
Please tell me I'm not the only one 😐
Nope.
Especially if stop on the way back from a ride. old Ronald his Big mac can crop up.
Post ride kebabs after night rides are the bestest thing ever
Anything pastry based is always fair game
Blackfriars flapjacks, 49p from Aldi.
Lager
Spicy or dry roasted nuts
when i lived in leeds, 18 inch Donner meat and Jalepino Pizza, and a bottle of red. Hmmmm
Mars Milk, nom nom
Crimbles Macaroons are a favourite of mine. And I always have a Mars 'recovery drink' too 🙂
Donner meat and Jalepino Pizza
When I lived in Hull our local pizza takeaway did something similar. That and gravy and chips are about the only thing I miss from up there.
Late finishing 4hr MTB rides can end up in the Chippie where haddock, chips and mushy peas get nom'ed , quite often feeling sick as we peddle back the 20mins to the carpark.. Urgh, it's not a pretty sight.
If I'm driving back from a ride I sometimes pop into the Big M.
Pint and nuts followed by another pint.
Post ride beer is a sacred rite. Hobgoblin or similar in the darker months and something lighter when it's sunny.
OK, and a pork pie if it's been a long ride
Bloody hell alright, and some crips and if I'm driving some chocolate.
Pie barm with gravy
Dirtiest, greasiest kabab going. But no salad, "I ain't no wabbit"
had 3 hours across beautiful sunny dartmoor this morning..finished it off woth a pint of jail ale and some nuts and some chips....mmmmmmmm
KFC
Post ride kebab, I like the sound of that.
Just popping out for a bit...
if i've been out more than 3 hours of hard riding rather than a bimble, a lovely slice of cake and maybe a nice cup of tea with some milk.
I ate a burger and chips once near Box Hill after riding about 25 miles off road, but I had to ride 25 miles back home. So this was mid ride rather than post ride.
I was starving hungry, but on the ride home I seriously considered making myself sick as I felt so bloated on the way home.
Haven't done that again.
Last night wasn't a good one nutritionally.
Went for a decent ride in the evening. A mate then called round to see if I fancied a pint just as I'd got back so I went to the pub and missed dinner. As a result, dinner consisted of 2 pints of Brains SA, a shared bag of Cheese and Onion Walkers and 1/2 bag of pork scratchings (the pub make their own).
Anything that's both in front of me and safe for human consumption!
But chippy/kebab shop would feature heavily if I actually planned it...
Not necessarily DarrenH, it depends on what you're aiming for!
If it's increased performance then although that's by no means great recovery food, it's still not all your good work undone.
If you're looking for weight loss then, yes, you can't out train a bad diet. This guy ran 10 marathons in 10 days. Pastabelly.

Who are you and what have you done with Taz??
Or
You are Surfmat and I claim my £5...
Just back from a two hour roadride, and a Thai beef curry with noodles and grated cheese consumed now for some Hobgoblin
A nice tub of hydrogenated fat does the job for me after a ride.
Yup, normally a bacon sandwich or two. Then end up eating loads of crap at work on saturday night. Then do the same on a Sunday at work. Sausage and cheese toasty ftw.
Who are you and what have you done with Taz??
he's been replaced with a leaner, faster more singlespeedy version than ever before!*
*apart this weekends monster beer fags and kebab session 😥
I was forced to have a Pint of Cider in Cranham and came home to a (far too large) bowl of chilli.
It is the giant bar of Galaxy that followed that I am most ashamed of
Its almost a tradition for myself and my girlfriend to order a curry after an xc ride on saturdays. The last 5 miles is spent deciding what to order.... really makes you ride faster too!
not riding, but just spent the last 90 mins speed gardening (digging mainly). Ended up with tremors (low blood sugar, I'm pretty sure), and now currently eating anything that doesn't move in our house. So far chicken stir fry left overs, handful of tortilla chips, handful of pringles (tortilla chips ran out), some chorizo, a bit of cheese, yoghurt, and debating a bowl of cereals now.
Beer + curry or a steak ftw.
McD's after [i]both [/i]rides this weekend (urban exploration Saturday, mtb Sunday). 😳
I had a buy one get one free voucher for domino's, seemed rude not to use it after riding on Saturday...
Biscuits.
Have also been known to carry a pastie home in my jersey pocket...

MrsH came home with a big mac meal.
She's a keeper 😀
Came back tonight after a couple of hours, mrsmidlife handed me a glass of red and a bowl of olives.
Every weekend without fail - cup of tea and a pork & leek slice from the Peaslake Village Stores....
