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.

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.
