Good foods for post endurance events

Hi all, So this isn't so much a question about RIGHT after or the day of an endurance event. This is more, what do you eat in the days following those events to help your body recover. I know the majority of the nutrition around what to eat before, and during, but I realized today that I don't really know what a good balance would be for these days after the event.

Obviously, I know I am going to be a little hungrier, but should the meals be well rounded macros, or should there be a higher amount of protein / carbs / fats etc etc etc to help with recovery?

I participated in the American Cancer Society PA Hope Ride this past weekend. We rode our bikes from Hershey's Hope Lodge to Philadelphia's Hope Lodge. The ride was roughly 2 days for a total of 140 miles long, with some pretty intense climbs. It was about 70 miles per day.
