Well since you asked, my favorite post-ride/post-workout food is reduced fat chocolate milk. There was actually a study on recovery drinks that showed that drinking low fat chocolate milk after a workout was better than drinking a sports drink at helping you recover and work harder the next day. I am still working on losing weight, so I try not to "recover" all the calories...but I do try to put some carbs and protein back in within about 20-30 minutes post workout when my muscles can make the most use of it.
