I Regret Skipping These 5 Post-Ride Recovery Tips 

I'm chilling in my compression socks from Bombas right now. What's your favorite recovery tip?

The suffrage with the foam roller reminds me that we are not alone in this world…. 😂🍻

As someone working in the waste management industry, I appreciate that Reduce, Reuse, Recycle came first 😁

that stem/handlebar man! Beautiful😍!!!

Go Michelin Power Cup’s. Got them in 28 mm for my triathlon season and Ironman. Amazing tyres! Light gravel is a NO problem for those bad boys.

Lol "Oh Cramp" lol ya been there...my cramp was quickly followed by "oh there goes the other one" lol

Love the vibs in your videos. Nice work. Gibraltar is a great climb. Got to connect all the dirt next time for a big SB loop! Fueling is one of the big things I have worked on in 2022. I now set a time reminder on my Dash every 15 mins to get down 1/4th of about 70-100 carbs per hour. Using liquid cals and gels makes it easier when the tough gets going. I assume 9 hrs in the saddle meant a lot of full pockets but hey, you get lighter as you go!

Awesome video as always!!As a beginner rider, how long did it take you before you attempted your first 100 miles? Was that on your Cannondale or BMC?

This was so helpful. great information. My question is how soon after the ride do I need to put on compressions socks, refuel with carbs/protein, and stretch. Scenario: I ride the Silver Comet Trail in west Georgia but the trail is a 45 minute car ride from home. Can the post ride recovery tips occur at home 45 minutes after a long ride (75-120 miles) or should I pack the recovery items in my car and begin the recovery in the trailhead parking lot before I head home on the 45 minute drive?

Thanks for this video Mitch! By the way, which top-tube (frame) bag are you using? 😌

I'm horrible about those things. For example I did my planned double century today, er... Yesterday at this point and what did it do? Jumped in the car drove as quickly as possible to the nearest gas station on the way he so my SAG driver, my wife, could use the restroom. I did remember when I got there to mix up my recovery drink and drank that the rest of the way home. But that was followed by a shower then Taco Bell, I wanted some pizza but they were all closed by the time we got back to town, then I layed down on the couch to play a quick game or two on my phone before emptying the car of all the leftovers fuel, water, and gear that I left there so I could shower and eat first. Next thing I know I woke up at 1 am and instead of going to bed I had to take care of the car. I mean we got hit with a rain storm for the 10-15 miles right in the middle of the ride andy shoes were soaked so I had to get them taken care of. Now I'm about ready to get to bed at 1:40. But of course I had to watch the latest Mitch video first. So in summary.... No 1, half make on 2 as Taco Bell takes away half point from the recovery drink, no 3, 4 is not likely going to be as good as it should be, and I'm going to say history tells me that there will be no 5, at least not till Monday when I go to spin class and just spin the legs and not work.... maybe. Anyway...good night now.

hell yeah brother nice work with the sponsor!

Where did you get this bike wall mount from? Did you make it yourself? It looks super sleek, I would buy it.

I agree, I prefer climbing to descending, if for no other reason, I've never crashed while climbing... yet

Hey Mitch, I notice in every video your head is alway center of your wheel when you have it mounted on the wall, like a angel halo. Ps I just purchased some compression socks using your code, thanks

You are riding the shit out of those brakes on the descents my man. Love the video, sorry your ride didn't go to plan.

spiky foam roller is the true masochist item! Nice video mate and congrats on the first video sponsor

Highlight of the video was that gorgeous Mudita alarm clock!

"Even my wife who constantly tells me to stop buying gadgets". Sounds familiar 🤣. Great vid man and congrats on the sponsor.

I went straight to a birthday party after i did my longest ride, got sick for nearly 2 weeks and infected most of my classmates 😅

what is that clip-on rear rack at 6:42?

Like your content Mitch great ride. Kudos Always stop and get Food and hydration. Never try to loose weight on a ride of that size. Loose weight on regular days and normal eating not that you where trying too. FYI i suck at loosing weight . Carbs , sugar for me every 500 calories burned take a gel or something. I really like Gatorades new Electrolyte drink its got everything you loose sweating in it. There are many other supplements that do the same thing. Off the bike back home protein and carbs real food. Beef is the best iron,protein, b12. I also take Zinc, magnisum, vitamin c, D3 and a mens one a day. I drink alot of skin milk also keeps the calcium levels up and great source of all essential proteins and carbs.

thinking compression socks actually matter...next level advertising lol

Nice video.. nothing kills you slowly than a one hundred miler, with hills and you cook it too hard in the first part

The percussion gun is a life saver

I have a massage gun, and a foam roller, much prefer the roller. Yes, it hurts, but it hurts so good, especially the next day when I'm not sore.

A star is born 🤩✨💫

Hey mitch, what protein shake do you take for your post ride ?

I see that Plant Based protein!!

Me an asian eating rice with pork belly after a ride 😊

Bruh, at least mention that rehydration requires electrolytes, not just liquids.

instead of a recovery ride swimming would be so much better

Why do the women place so many pillows on the bed!!?? I was cracking up watching you toss them away one by one---

Watching u getting hurt is not masochist it's sadist.
