Default Carbs after exercise.....

I mountain biked saturday for about 2 hours - very intense workout. Afterwords I found myself eating a "pretzel turkey melt" which was not low carb by any means..... I should have been better prepared with my food but....I was'nt.
Anyhow, I ate probably 50g carbs in a sitting.....I've been eating 20-40g carbs in a typical day so this worried me. I expected to feel a bit off later - maybe feel the cravings that creep back - maybe feel tired (as carbs always make me feel).....but I did'nt. I got right back to LC and made it through a birthday party later that night without any other carb trap foods.

My queston is regarding exercise - after you do intense exersice (like mountain biking for 2 hours) - is your body better able to deal with carbs as the glycogen in your body has been used (pushing pedals!)

WOndering if anyone has any insight. Thanks - Steve
