RIDE FOR 2.5 HOURS AT RPE 6-7: After your long ride today, get ready for tomorrow's repeat performance by ingesting at least one gram of carbohydrate for each pound of body weight in the two hours after the ride. One way to get some extra carbs: Mix a homemade recovery drink of 12 ounces of lowfat milk and 3-4 teaspoons of sugar. Chocolate milk works great too.
