What's a "wheetabix", some type of cereal? Whatever it is, you don't want to bulk up with whole milk. Try skim milk, all the benefits without the animal fat.

Except for that whole fat-soluble vitamin thing.

Well we call them wheatbix and if your going to have them use full fat milk only. There OK as far as proccessed cereal's go. You could probably have them as soon as you get home rather than waiting an hour. Its supposed to help muscle recovery to eat carbs and protein straight away.

after a 50 mile ride, I once ate 36 Weetbix, after first eating a small bowl of vegies and 2 jam sandwiches. Beat that!! 
there's the whole 'should we be eating grains' issue, but as far as weet biscuit cereals go, one good thing about them is that they're very filling relative to their energy content -- 10 Weetbix (not including the milk) is only ~500 calories.
