Absolutely.
If you're heavy lifting and bulking and eating more on a rest day to fuel recovery and growth, higher intake on days with higher energy expenditure makes sense.Feeling awful post workout is mainly due to low blood sugar and low glycogen stores, so if you have more carbs prior to, and after workout, then you should feel quite a lot better.
If you find that you're muscles are really sore for ages, you're body is clearly not fuelled enough to recover fast.

Its actually quite a nice thing isn't it. More eating, cant grumble at that.
Do you think it can be broken up into days....in the sense that, on riding days I eat more on non riding days I eat less, is it as simple as that? Replacing calories rather than building them up?
