Today we're taking you behind the scenes to talk about something most mountain bikers ignore, recovering from a big event. You put in the training ahead of time, you did your best during the event, but recovering afterwards is what allows you to reap the benefits of all that hard work and sets you up for continued improvement down the line.

Ebikes are amazing, I got a brain injury after an accident 3 years ago and I suffer massively with physical and mental fatigue. Without my Ebike I would only be able to cope with a couple of miles before collapsing in a heap and feeling rubbish for a couple of days after. Ebikes still get your heart rate up and work your muscles.
I never thought I would cycle again but now I am out 3 or 4 times a week.
THIS is the real “other” side of racing/riding. Even us weekend warriors, have similar issues, and since we are not PRO athletes our “recovery” is usually longer and more painful. Great perspective. Thanks for sharing.
Yall are amazing and inspirational! Got my first mountain bike a few months ago and ride almost daily. Keep up the good videos!
As far as MTB UA-cam channels go, my hat is off to you for being the best foodie MTB's. My wife never gets why I can down a whole 12USD burrito after a ride. She doesn't ride so not sure if she really understands. Can I make a fan suggestion? Maybe make a Sid&Macky cooks video? I'm not talking about super healthy food but post race lets jump into the melted cheese, carnitas and all that good stuff!
I'd be interested in cooking video from people like them, i'm trying to get rid of bad habit , and they seem really healthy obviously
The food montage was fantastic... very impressive cooking and presentation.
They use New Mexico Tortilla Company tortillas, and Annie's products, so no Hydrogenated Oils, nice!
Excellent video. Some really good looking food. Your recovery rides are harder then my serious rides. Love it. Take care, Al
Great recovery ride. Next is a recovery from the recovery ride! Loved this video and the way you two relate to each other with love and respect.
The epic food montage - now I’m hungry! But seriously, thanks for this. Recovery has always been a massive struggle. This was a good reminder that recovery takes as much discipline as the training
Will be on the lookout for the Syd & Mackie Cooking Channel. Appreciate the insight on the post-ride side of things. You don't often get to see what competitive mtbers get in to once the bikes are hung up. Syd, you handled that burrito like a champ! That was massive! Great to see a wide variety of meal choices, need that to avoid boredom with healthy eating. Another great share, thank you!
Great work, you two are an inspiration! 🧡
That really was an epic food montage! Every thing looked so good!
SYD and MACKY, my favorite Mtb bike channel/ couple! love your videos! keep up the great work!
Hi
SYD and MACKY I've been following your channel since 2020. The videos are sensational and your whole routine is very inspiring. I can't understand how the channel doesn't have half a million subscribers yet. Good luck in this season's competitions. Greetings from Brazil.
Never expected to be so hyped about your food footage, these meals look amazing!
I love the montage of different trails in town. Highlights the diversity of cool technical trails. Bridges, walnut canyon, bayo, east fork, upper pueblo, school canyon, exploring in the Canyons, maybe some more I missed. I think exploring is my favorite part of a casual ride. There's a lot of "I didn't know this was a thing". Trying to ride down a deer trail down the side of a canyon can be some hilarious fun. There are some off of walnut canyon by the golf course (near the little bridge west of the 'bridges' access road).
Great vid. As an 'older' person I love what e-bikes let me enjoy. Truly more awesome!
Your vids got me out on my singlepeed again this past weekend. I almost hung it up you two rock! keep up the good work. I'm even looking for a new bike with gears baby!!¡!
Gears are life!
It is going to be a great season! You guys are firing on all cylinders.
Cool, some bayo footage. Lots of cool stuff down in the canyon to explore. I love going down fireline but the grind back up to the mesa tops is a bit of a beast haha :)
Awesome video. Neat to see the routine post race.
Thank you Competitive Cycle 👍
I've always read that your food should be colorful, so you're winning! Looks delicious! 😋
I LOVE Syd and Mackey best mtbers and UA-camr’s
The only problem with watching this during my lunch break is that now I'm even more hungry... great content!!
As someone with Leukemia and extreme anemia at 50 yrs old, who still likes to ride his bike til he's gassed and lost... I fully understand the LOVE/HATE relationship with food. Some days it's voracious and others it's just the task you gotta suffer through. Thanks again Syd n Macky!!!
Yea!! Syd and Macky's race secret - awesome (bias cut!) recovery food + awesome recovery exercises! I tried both! ....hmmm I decided to just do the food part!!
The injuries suck. Great videos.
Wow! Your recovery meals look amazing! If they taste as good as they look, can you share your recipes,
We are huge fans of your channel. Thank you for your quality content! My wife and I are considering heading to the Santa Fe area towards the end of the end of the month. We have heard to avoid Colorado that time of year because of mud season. Is that a concern in Santa Fe? We will be doing some gravel bike packing trips... We would appreciate any advice as we've never been to this area of the country. Thank you once again!
For anyone wondering what the song is at 3:15 It's Jontha Links - Duracell 👍🏼
wow great way to use an ebike awesome!!!!!! thanks for the video
Hilarious you mentioned cutting stuff on the bias - we always joke that (instead of fancy) it makes it taste better.
awesssommeeeeeeeeeeeee!! love it
I raced at the weekend down here in Western Australia. Did the 100km Karri Cup Mountain Bike race. Done it a few times now and getting better all the time. 100km, 1500mtrs of climbing & riding the best tracks through the forest. Think I burnt an extra 3600 calories for the 4hrs 34mins that it took me to complete.
I went for a short ride the next day, 24hrs later, just to turn the legs over and keep them moving, nothing too crazy.
You guys really need to do a little foodie video or two as well.
I know an individual that did a 3 day race with short track , enduro and the final day xc . She was back normal riding the next day . At 61 I ride 3 days a week . Maybe 15 to 20 miles and up to 2000ft of climbing . On days I go past my 20 miles I can be completely spent after the ride . A couple years ago I completely bonked and it looked over a month to recover from complete exhaustion and over doing it as far as my body was concerned . What you guys do is hard on the body . I equate it drowning . Not physically painful so much but your body in physical chaos and the limits it can handle . Mountain biking is the hardest sport I have done as I have done many of the ball sports . Surfing can be right there on big days . For me getting older I have to listen to my body . Sometimes I don't and it can cost me . Nobody is getting younger that's the reality . A balanced healthy lifestyle is key and that's what you 2 have accomplished .
Love the 2 stroke motorcycle noise when she got on the ebike.
Seeing lots of bits of The Supple Leopard Kelly Starret’s work
plus 1 for the sid and macky cooking channel, may have drooled a little during the video.
Would love to see a bike + food pairing sub-vlog from you guys.
Didn't know bobby axelrod's nemesis from the Netflix series Billions had a mountain bike channel and his real name is Macky. Great channel guys!
Great overall video! I am very glad I had dinner before watching this. I know y'all are quite busy, but the two of you could easily start a cooking for mtb channel too. Oorrr a few cooking videos for when the weather is bad. (-:
We want to write a cookbook at some point. But we are maxed out on UA-cam channels lol
@@sydandmacky Let me know when you do the book. I'm in.
coincidentally, I do the couch stretch too after a long day in the saddle
“Let’s see if we can ride up this on the ebike” ***giggles***
After a disappointing end to my 2019 race season, I started paying better attention to my recovery, TSS and CTL leading up to and after a race. Maybe an eMTB for recon and recovery could have saved me from myself!
Nice work
Dang guys! Your meals look amazing!!
I would be first in line to purchase a Syd & Mackey cookbook. Just a thought 💕
The EMTB's are an amazing way for people to keep riding they have physical limitations, or are supposed to be recovering. Some bikes allow you to sync a heart rate monitor and target a bpm while the bike adjusts the power accordingly. I switched to an EMTB so I can "prehab" while I await a knee replacement. You can get as much of, or little of a workout as you like on an EMTB. Nothing cheating about riding a class 1 ebike. Now riding a horse, that's cheating - lol.
Some of the food you show looks so delicious. The fact that I just came back from a ride and am waiting for my half roasted chicken to warm up doesn't have anything to do with it I'm sure ;). But yeah you can really eat shamelessly if you ride a lot, making everybody else so jealous :D
A couple of riders were rider the same kind of E Bike on the trails earlier this month . I passed one and catched up to the next person . I was right on his wheel. We were going real fast . Could have pass him when reach on the top of the climbs. But it wasn't safe. But I had real fun behind that E bike.
Probably it can be use for pacing making in Training . We passed a lot of other riders .
I didnt see a comment about the bretzel yet but Syd was pretty much right. Gray Cook from FMS created the bretzel and found that it would trainer Brett Jone's mobility issues so he named it for him. I believe that's the story.
Excellent ⚡️✌🏽😉⚡️
That trail did NOT look like a recovery ride, even on an e-bike... but "stuff" happens and it looked like fun! :)
Glad the Syd knee cam got fixed 😂
My recovery is quite a bit different. Being a type 2 diabetic I really have to watch my carbohydrates. Carbs do equal energy so my recovery is a bit slower than most. I usually load up on high protein low carb shakes or pack in a lot of lean meat for recovery. Some carbs are good but I just can't over do them. It usually takes at least two days recovery before I can do any training. It definitely limits my riding time therefore my gains are slow in coming. I have to remind myself that I'm doing it for fun and that I'll get to where I need to be when the time is right. 👍
You guys should make a cookbook :)
Mmm… 😋 Zia Taqueria is what I miss the most about living in Durango.
Did you two make it to burm Park
A lot of mountain biking UA-camrs made it there at least from what I seen it was 15 different UA-camrs and approximately five of them I watch but I did not see neither of you two there
By the way awesome video recovery is a major part of what we must do when it comes to mountain biking or anything else that we do
Take care U2
That epic food montage though! I'm a recovering fat guy who now wants to raid the fridge haha!
love my ebike
Oh my goodness, y'all are cool.
Ok now i'm hungry, and it's only 6AM here
This video was super informative... But it made me hungry for some reason 🤷♂️
I can't wait to live my own food montage like that. Next Thursday I become active on the kidney transplant list. As soon as the transplant happens all dietary and fluid restrictions are lifted.
Wow! Good luck with the transplant! Sending good vibes and hope you get to eat your favorite foods soon ❤️
The orb hurts so good!
Ok, when is the cookbook coming out? That looks like my kind of eating!
Hopefully this winter 🤞 we're a bit too busy at the moment 😂
Ebikes and recovery burritos: 10 of 10, would recommend!👍🏻
The protein we eat is going to break down into amino acids in order to form protein. If you eat amino acids instead of protein, you're already halfway there to building your protein. On the other hand, low glycemic index foods will make your energy more constant and last longer. That means low carb meals, or no carbs at all. You could give that a try 💪🤘
I make that turmeric chicken and asparagus chicken dish, it's fantastic.
Yep, best thing about cycling is the eating!
Can y’all race over here in NC(pisgah/DuPont) this year? I wanto meet you!
Love burritos!!
Not much of a mountain biker, but more on the road, and yeah do a century ride you get hungry. I have even done a marathon, and I was so starved afterwards I mean run a marathon with very little calories ingested during, . I had to stop of at a place near the finish of the race, where I literally ordered a bowl of fries, cause I was craving them, and ate the lot, before heading back to my accommodation to freshen up, then go out for evening meal proper.
Time for a 3rd channel that reverses the roles, Syd shares some recipes - "Macky Fixes Dinner".
Well, a little off-camber exposure never hurt anyone, especially on an e-bike heavyweight . . . add in the boulder garden and it makes for the PERFECT recovery ride.
Yeah, we have some fun off camber bits of trail in town. Upper pueblo doesn't have a whole lot of exposure so you can get some good practice in. Some other trails have some insane exposure with really technical riding (school canyon rim, etc) that can be beyond a lot of folks comfort level. My wife hates that trail haha. :)
Ebikes could save the planet! Would be great to see some of our Aussie drivers get out of their cars and onto a bike.
massage gun + burrito + lay on couch = recovery
Hurt couldn’t ride the past 2 weeks, so I’ve been binge watching all your videos. 👍 what bike did Mackey ride for the Moab race? Visiting Taos May 5-8th, can you recommend any trails? Thanks
Probably a bit too early for the high stuff to be open, so check out Talpa Traverse and Horse Thief area!
Where is Syd's purple hoodie from? It looks sooooo comfortable!
It's the Women's Prospect Tech Hoodie (www.pearlizumi.com/products/womens-prospect-tech-hoodie-17222109). I love it!
Seriously - screw anyone who says riding e-bikes are cheating. Like Syd said, if you're not in a *race* it's not cheating. Like anything, e-bikes are a tool with many uses, and what better use than allowing you to get out and have an "easy" recovery ride on those gorgeous trails.
What will your foodie/cooking channel be called? I will now forever chop my scallions on the diagonal 🤙🏼
John Tomac is cool with e-bikes. What more do you need to know...
Really appreciate the focus on recovery. I’ve recently started focusing on mobility myself using Becoming A Supple Leopard by Kelly Starrett. I’m wondering how many times per week you do mobility things during a normal training week? (Like using the rollers, therapy balls, etc). Great video!
In theory every day. In practice, every day we train and sometimes not on rest days.
@@sydandmacky Cool, thanks!
Dutch Oven Bread!! I live about an hour S of you at 7,000 ft and struggle to get oven spring. Your bread looks amazing. Can you please share your recipe?
Ours is sourdough, but after making a fairly wet dough (slightly sticky to the touch) we let it rise for 3 hrs in the oven on the proof setting (100°F), then punch it, then let it rise for another 30 mins on the same setting, then pull it out and preheat the oven to 425° with the oiled dutch oven in the oven. Once it's preheated (generally about 30 mins for a total of 1hr second rise) we pull the Dutch oven, pour the dough in, cook for 40 mins, remove the top and cook for another 15 mins.
@@sydandmacky Thank you for the reply. Sounds like what I do, but not sourdough. Guess I need to start a starter again. Beautiful bread and thanks for sharing your content.
Recovery is the best part. Or maybe i just like eating and stretching.
My wife is non-cyclist.
She is still amazed[annoyed] by the food thing.
Yo can we get that taco recipe?!
I think I might need a "look at these YUCCAS!" notification for every desert ride I do from now on. That is all.
12:20
I love my e-bike. Makes longer rides more doable and I'm not always a half mile behind everyone else.
Are those extended arm & leg crunchs better for the core than regular crunches?
Yes! Anything where you are maintaining a "hollow" position gives you more bang for your buck than rounding your back. Could be planks, hollow rocks, v-ups (what we're doing in this video) or just hollow holds.
:38 i want a mountain bike that does that.😁
You guys ever thought of starting a food channel? I have an ebike and at nearly 73 it's been a great investment. Finally that was some recovery ride how long did it take to recover from that one?
what cookbook do you like?
Not cheating! If it makes you smile it is not in any way wrong.
Well, mercifully there were only a few hundred comments before mine. I looked through them all and didn’t see the answer to your pondering. I don’t know if there is a connection there but care to wager a guess what the German word for pretzel is? Yep, Brezel. A German z sounds like tz.
Syd fixes bikes, Syd don't fix no e-bikes!
Okay but hook us up with the recipe for that chicken 😂💜
I'm always impressed with your home cooked meals. Thanks for providing details on how you two approach recovery.
cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1020970-turmeric-black-pepper-chicken-with-asparagus :)
try sun warrior plant protein
Well when y'all finish racing, you could open a restaurant. Your food looks worth paying for. What trail were you riding here? Is that Los Alamos?
Yes this was all the town trails in Los Alamos :) pueblo bench, walnut canyon and a few others! tbh we still don't know all the names haha
coconut michiocana best choice.
Must be a ton of popping in your recovery 😂
