As a post-ride drink, I highly recommend non-alcoholic beer, like Athletic Brewing Company's Upside Dawn. Beer is good for reducing inflammation, but the diuretic effect negates that. Non-alcoholic beer is not a diuretic, so you get the anti-inflammation benefit without the downside.
Of course if you don't like the taste of beer, then never mind.   |
Thanks for the recommendation. I had water mixed with some electrolyte powder. Yesterday was an MTB Ride in upstate NY (18 miles with 1700 ft of elevation) and I was totally fine with just water and a couple of granola bars. I guess the body is weird at 54 yrs old.
