Hi,
there are a couple tricks to eating lunch. The first is to eat a relatively light lunch.
I had a turkey club with no mayo. Then linger over a cuppa or some iced tea.
Just shoot the breeze, sip something cool, and let it settle for a while. And then when you get back on the bike, start gently, and build the effort level up slowly over a half an hour.
