Big shoutout to our friends at Rockview Farms. Fun fact —chocolate milk is one of the best post-ride recovery drinks out there:

• Natural carbs to restore depleted glycogen
• Isotonic hydration — water, sodium, and potassium to rehydrate better than most sports drinks
Huge thanks to Rockview Rockview Family Farms for keeping riders fueled at Tour de Big Bear.
