Beer & Pizza

I usually drink beer after a long ride, accompanied by pizza. I get my wife to bring it to me, so I can recover on the couch with the TV remote. I've tried to get my wife to massage my legs, but she says I'm 'too stinky'. If my back is bothering me I'll get my daughter to walk on it. I'll miss a day or two riding, then back to normal.

I realize this doesn't look like a serious answer, but that's my routine. I will drink a bunch of water before I start on the beer.

Percentage-wise, how much more or less do you ride in the week after the big event than you usually ride? What's your diet like? And most importantly, how many massages do you get in the week after?
