After rides, what do you for a meal?
- Thread starter sanjuro
- Start date
Generally I cook dinner (usually I try to plan ahead and have something easy prepared or thawed to prepare). Sometimes (on Friday nights) we hit the local pub for dinner (some beers and we may order food too).
A mix of cooking and eating everything in sight.
But usually cooking, mostly pasta of some type...yes, even after morning rides.

I try to eat a Clif bar halfway through so I'm not eating everything in sight when I get home.
combination of 'all of the above'. The main thing I try to do is the post ride carb load to aid in recovery. Generally the first part of that quest is an ale. The location of the ride generally determines where we go and what we eat. Blue Cheese/Kobe burger, pasta, burritos,....anything quality with carbs and protein.
Usualy I eat nuts and dried mangos.
When I'm done? Drink beer and eat pizza.
Ideally, I'd NOT do that, and chow on a cliff bar or something.

Most of the time after a hard ride I am not hungry at all.
I can go for hours without eating...

I think you need another option unless take-out also means FAST FOOD. Most of the rides we do end with an hour to hour and a half drive back home. We always get fast food or some kind of food from a place where we don't care how we look or smell.
Since most of my rides start and end at my house - I fix up something here. Saves money and is better for me (usually) 
it depends on the crew and the ride. we used to have big rides then heavy grill/beer action @ my house afterward, but haven't done that in a while. if i'm more than 90min from home, i will just grab something quick.
eat the loser's first born.
It really depends on the ride and the crew. I know the importance of recovery, so my ideal post-ride meal is two or three pitchers of margaritas and a two-hour drive before getting home and eating anything and everything within reach. 
Well aren't you special.N8 said:
I usually pick whatever is easiest to make. It don't really matter as long as it fills me up.
Pretty much I want Beer and then a nice rare fillet steak in my choice of sauce (Asian styles are my fav. at the moment) with some nice leaf salad with red onion, spring onion, bell pepper, cucumber, maybe some orange and a light dressing. Then more Beer!
Sauce on a filet? Sacrilege.Changleen said:
Rare and bloody is a close to a sauce on a filet as I like to get.SkaredShtles said:Sauce on a filet? Sacrilege.
how about a nice mushroom, red wine and shallot reduction sauce made w/ the pan deglazings?SkaredShtles said:Sauce on a filet? Sacrilege.
That sounds OK. Might even do that on a cut like a hanger steak.narlus said:how about a nice mushroom, red wine and shallot reduction sauce made w/ the pan deglazings?
I kid, actually. If I'm going for a sauce, though - I'll take a blue cheese-cream sauce on the filet.
Mmmmmmm......... I had a 16oz NY strip like that on Sunday.Westy said:
i usually have a preped meal waiting that has a high protien carb combo and needs to taste good. No quick fixes.........chicken salads or pasta with protien. No store bought crap or take out.
Mmmmmm....... steak and potatoes.......trailblazer said:
PBJ & milk always does the trick. Either that or a greasy burger and fries.
pb&j during the ride.
Pretty much where I am at. I always have chicken pounded out and ready to grill off. I snack on raw veggies and small amounts of hard cheese until the main meal is ready. Lately we get canadian pork loins in cyrovac packages. They are tasty and cheap.trailblazer said:
Beer and some Bacon and eggs cooked on the BBQ and turned into a sandwich. and then more Montieths beer. :love:
