That one right there is a fine, fine choice!
This was my vote too. Beers in the parking lot., then get food. Mexican is always good, burgers work as well. But usually it's whatever quality establishment is nearby or on the way home.I chose "other" because my answer is basically all of the above. Depends on my mood, where the ride is finishing, and even who I was riding with.
That Sierra Nevada and hot dog I had at your place after Yaeger Mesa was the Sh!t at 1am!I go home, but not straight.
No go-to after-ride formula for us. I would enjoy most anything on the list. Sushi probably doesn't make the grade, and ribs are more an activity than food. Pizza may be the ultimate food pyramid. The photos look delicious!
How about those rides where, near the end, you are on less than fumes, fighting waves of nausea and can barely stand up? There's only one "food" that pulls me out of that. Chocolate milk FTW! I do love beer and very often choose it before anything else, but when it's grim, choco moo is the medicine. I'll even drink regular milk over beer if I'm spent. Something soothing about dairy. After a marathon/long cardio event, nothing can touch soft ice cream. Not even beer.
Definitely Beer after!! As for food was forced to select Burgers because due to my current geographical location in the PNW there are slim options for legit Mexican food. Thats one thing I miss about Cali for sure!
As much as I wallow in old habits, I would give up beer long before I would scooby snacks. The poor man's high often leaves a little (a lot?) to be desired. Disgusting in the heat. I get ya. @rossage style is good style.All you guy's mentioning post ride beers. In the recent words of DDD, "I can't". There is not a single thing about beer that makes me want one. I don't get it!

But now I'm going to crack one.
Ha! People say the same thing about the Scooby Snacks, but we understand.All you guy's mentioning post ride beers. In the recent words of DDD, "I can't". There is not a single thing about beer that makes me want one. I don't get it!
After Cannell Plunge I was planning on heading straight home but hunger took over. Ended up stopping at one of my faves, J's Place in Bakersfield. Southern soul food. Got my staple, the Fried Shrimp Plate (cornmeal crust) with collard greens and red beans and rice. The extra a la cart shrimp and Sweet Tea were crucial. In the context, it was one of the best meals I'd ever eaten, and I don't think I'll ever do Cannell without going there.

Is that Mikie?
Somebody here has asked that before.Is that Mikie?
I can't remember exactly, but I feel like I Wazed it at the time and it only added like 10 min to my trip, though actual mileage may have been more disparate. Either way, the idea popped into my head and it was like a tractor beam. I end up in Bakersfield for a handful of days each year for work, and eat there almost each day that I'm there (and I always get the same thing). I'll definitely hit you up next time I'm there.That is way out of the way from Cannell. That place is 1.5 miles from my house. Great food there like you said. If you go there again, hit me up.
What the hail!?!Is that Mikie?
