20km!? nsv!

Holy snaps!  I biked 20.6 km today!  8 months ago I'd be lucky to bike 2 lol...I only started riding 4 days ago so I'm excited to see where I can push myself to.  On a side note, that 20km burnt about 1000 calories...which is what I eat in a day..anyone have any clue how many extra I should consume when I do a big workout like that?  I feel like I have a pretty good grasp on nutrition now, but this I have no idea about.

Congratulations on your ride. I remember my first big ride and how great it felt to be so mobile.

Having some extra protein or something like a banana helps. Do not assume that because you burned 1000 calories you can eat that much.

I ended up just having a protein shake..

Congratulations, 20k is awesome! My centre recommended the Detour smart bars, you can get them at Costco for cheaper.  I have been working out harder than ever lately, just feel ready to step it up, and I was wondering the same. Sometimes I feel a little dizzy after I work out intensely, and worry maybe I need to be feeding myself more or differently.
