A pint of milk in the blender, add 2 bananas, two heaped tablespoons of smooth peanut butter, maple syrup - a delicious shake that gives recovery protein and some replacement carbs. Couple of black coffees (caffeine helps protein absorb) and a litre of water during shower. Then onto 8%+ Belgian beer for the evening (Kwak or Chouffe a favourite) to undo the whole endeavour.

Had a pair built up on Novatec hubs with Sapim X Ray spokes. Rode really well and light at 1350g for the pair - however after knocking the rear significantly out of true twice on steep climbs (didn't hit any potholes etc.) and having them rebuilt I gave up and bought Ksyrium SLs. The SLs are c.1485g for the pair and have been absolutely bombproof. Maybe I'm just a fat B... but at 85kg didn't think the carbons would have problems .....
