Yeah, I usually eat some scrambed eggs (and spinach/bread) after riding
I'll aim for Purito's weight, because he's the same length and boy, can he climb
Eat some meat mate.
Cashews and other nuts also go down well, especially if you don't want to buy that commercial protein powder stuff. But nothing beats a good steak after a ride (except maybe pasta...). mmm, steak.......

After other fuel sources have been used by your body, it will usually start burning protein. When your body does this, most people experience a metallic taste/smell in the back of their throat. As for other issues that may be associated with that, I'm not sure.
Ian does one hour rides, IIRC, so still a long way from burning proteins.
I do one hour rides at the start of the season, before heading out on the road in February/March. From then onwards I do 2-3-4 hour rides. I build up to the mountains in France, and then I spend the entire day in the saddle.

That's what I thought, and was trying to get at I guess. It was mentioned somewhere else further up the thread I think.

Okay, did another training today. I took it easier, read a book in the meantime (obviously not riding outside), and things were a lot better. No pains or complaints during the training (though it was cut short because dinner was ready and it was a nice, nice steak), and my legs felt sport-tired afterwards. (sport-tired = that feeling of tiredness but in a great way, after a training), nothing about the chest or anything. Going to try going a little harder next time!
