Found the above article about diet, nutrition, and muscle recovery. Thought it was interesting- recovery begins BEFORE activity begins! Who would have known? Start putting healthy and useful food in your body one day prior to a race or planning to ride. Also, continue replacing the nutrients on the trail as you ride and after you ride as well. See the below article for helpful foods to eat.

The article above at livestrong is also interesting and gives what food your body needs to help repair muscles. According to another article on this site, the following vitamins are most beneficial for muscle repair: Vitamin A, Vitamin B6, Vitamin C, Copper,and zinc. If you go to this website it has a lot of helpful information related to diet, nutrition, muscle repair, and muscle building.
