Does anyone else get a bit of a hangover (besides achey legs etc) after big, hard rides? Like, anything over about 80miles.
I always find that the next day I feel pretty out of it and slightly comatose. I always eat and drink a good amount when i'm back, including all that 'protein in the first 20 mins of getting home' nonsense. I do however, tend to have a couple of beers, but normally no more that two, and i certainly don't feel pissed when I go to bed or anything.
Just wondering if anyone else gets similar after-effects, and have found ways of countering them. I tend to have an electrolyte in the morning which helps, but not a huge amount. I think part of the problem is i don't always sleep that well after a ride as I'm buzzing a bit, despite being exhausted.
