Do others get this way? What is a good post ride snack?

How old are you? (rhetorical question... no answer expected)
There seems tb a steep decline somewhere around the late twenties
that levels off quickly. Before that, it seems like anything's
possible. After that, I found myself actually thinking about
how I was going to feel the next day before staying up all night.
That carries over to the amount of watt hours you can put out and
still feel normal at the end of the day.

How many miles to you have on your bod?

When I'm low-mileage, that's the case with me. Takes about six
months of regular exercise to overcome it - and I'm *still* dead
meat if I'm foolish enough to lay down after dinner after a
four-hour ride.

I don't mind answering - 47 yrs old.

Is my body old for my age? In general I think not - compared to
typical 40 somethings who don't work out and can't see their feet past
their huge guts.

However my knees are a bit beat up due to years of basketball.

Heh, maybe I just should not sit down to relax after a ride...

After a morning commute, I usually eat a Powerbar (Harvest Double
Chocolate - I have a case of them stashed in my filing cabinet at
work) and a pint of skim milk.

always. Have to be careful about those
naps, as once I laid down for a short
nap at 4pm, and woke up at midnight.

90 min ride should not make you feel sleepy, you should feel
energized, which is why commuting to work works well for most who do.
You might have a medical condition that only needs an examination to
diagnose. If you haven't seen a doctor in a while, and it's not too
expensive I will suggest you get a check up.

Per Jay:
I feel quite the opposite. When I feel sleepy, I go for a ride. Then I feel
better.

My rule of thumb for riding or any workout: No matter how bad I
feel (as long as it isn't obvious that I have some sort of
infection) I start on the ride or workout.

97% of the time I feel better and keep on going.

2% of the time I don't feel any better and cut it short.

1% of the time I feel worse, stop immediately, go home, and lay
down with a good book.

Once I'm reasonably sure I have any kind of infection, I stop all
unnecessary physical activity until the infection passes.

Reason I mention this is that I've gotten really, *really*,
REALLY sick several times in my life by violating that rule... as
in losing 100+ pounds one time, 30+ pounds another time, and
incurring permanent respiratory damage yet another time.

Slow learner, I guess...

My suspicion is that exercise can facilitate the dispersal of the
bad guys within one's body.

The hardest thing to do when illness strikes is to lie
down and do nothing. No sitting up, no reading, nothing.
Getting well is hard work. Husband your resources.

For viral infections such as rhinovirus and influenza,
Get Warm. Wear long underwear, socks, and pajamas. Get
under a down comforter and sweat. Remain hydrated and
eat pure ascorbic acid gelatin capsules. Viruses are
very sensitive to heat and start dying in droves over
100 C. Give them no quarter. Ascorbic acid gives your
immune system ammunition. Up to 1000 mg/hour. No kidding.

Do not most mammals, hominids included, die at internal temperatures of
42°C and greater?

Dang! I should take my own advice.
That is 37 C for those still reading.
