Aching Muscles

Try drinking something to aid recovery. There are a load of specially forumlated prodicts on the market, or you could just make your own chocolate milk (I have a pint of ovaltine after a ride, I can't vouch for its recoverery benefits, but it tastes very, very nice and I'm able to get up the next day!).

Lots of goodies in Ovaltine. Vitamins and minerals.

Ovaltine I'd rather drink marmite, and I hate marmite.

I was all planning to get out this weekend , both my bikes have gone sick on me !. - so will be fiddling with gears instead.

Even turboing , my early season rides I walk like frankenstein afterwards for a day or too , and sit gently on my computer chair.
I'm hoping I won't be to bad this year after a winter of turboing.

Ovaltine, - oops I take a swig of rum afterwards. - riding leaves me with a coff and a quick swig clears it (well thats my excuse anyways)

Wasn't Ovaltine a drink that was popular in the 1930s and 40s? My grandad used to drink it. It was vile, so vile we named it Eviltine.

No idea. it was developed in Bern, Switzerland (1909) where I currently live, and consequently you can't move without some kind of Ovaltine product being offered. They're a proud lot these Swiss!

I found cycling in deep snow really tough on my body, I forgot that on a road bike everything is smooth, mountain biking is about as harsh on your body as resisting arrest.

and you know this how?

Imagination, that and the description of being arrested that Eddy Izzard uses in one of his stand up DVDs.

the aftertaste doesn't last six months?
Oveltine's ok , depends how you make it, some just use boiling water, me I like it, hot full fat milk and a large splash of rum or brandy. - in fact sometimes I miss the oveltine completely.

At least you can do something with oveltine, - Marmite or worse vegimite - in hot water - its like licking a cows arse. (its one of those you either hate or really hate drinks)

Ovaltine is like Brains faggots, I'm astounded that enough people still buy either for them to still be stocked in supermarkets.

When I was a kid I used to sneak into the kitchen and eat Ovaltine out of the jar with a spoon.
