None of TJs bollox, want real recovery drinks, not yazoo! Something that means i can ride in the morning after a night ride and not feel like a gulf war veteran!
Is rego any cop?
Using Go myself, seems to have stopped all of my cramp problems after sweaty rides. PSP22 seems to work fine for me during longer rides too, not had any experience of Rego though.

Nesquick.
I've found that generic protein powders work for me, mostly been using Nutrisport Vegan 90+ recently...mmmmm pea protein. 🙂
High5 Protein Recovery, strawberry flavour, 3 scoops in a pint of milk.
I've only tried some Maximuscle stuff and Torq strawberries and cream and have stuck with the Torq. Tastes lovely and I am amazed at how much it helps reduce muscle soreness. On the downside it is a bit pricey.
Milk.
Torq or Goodness Shakes as far as drinks go - rather partial to High 5 protein bars which seem to have a similar (possibly placebo!) effect for me.
To be fair, after a night ride it's usually 2-3 pints of the guest beer and a packet of McCoys and then have to MTFU 8 hours later when I climb back on a bike and commute in!
Just started using one, the SIS Rego.
Really quite impressed!!
Rego is good stuff mate, i use rego rapid instead of the normal rego recovery. Plenty of protein & carbs and lots of rapidly absorbed pre-digested good proteins to bounce you back to life!
I'd start off by trying the basic stuff - and if you find yourself still needing "that little bit more" - try the Rapid.
If your one of the people who can't stomach the SIS, then the Torq recovery is also a good investment.
Everything i have tried for recovery has had pretty similar effects, it's just personal preference on a) what is palatable and doesn't make you want to vomit, and b) what agrees with your gut and doesn't cramp you up and leave you on the council gritter for an hour at a time.
Good luck fella...... 😉
+1 for torq recovery drink the banana and mango flavour tastes good
I occasionally use rego but more often than not have a milkshake
Oh yeh, forgot about the flavour.......chocolate fudge won it for me, and i actually enjoy it these days.
minus 1 for beer. I had a lot of it after the roughride and today I can barely get up the stairs

Funny!
Chocolate Milk - sorted.

zangolin - do you wrestle?

Not just me then? That stuff gave me the most horrendous wind. 😯
Maybe those lovely mud wrestling ladies can wrestle [i]in the chocolate milk[/i] instead and occasionally take a slurp. They could go on for ages...
