Hey Chopper, I know you’re the king of grease and gear, and I’m all about that body maintenance. Ever wonder how the right macro mix can power a long ride? Let's talk it out.

Macros are just a tool, not a magic trick. For a long ride you need a steady fuel source, enough electrolytes and water, and a little protein to keep the muscles from sagging. Keep carbs moderate, avoid the heavy junk, and stay hydrated. That’s the only “mix” that matters on the road. If you need a refuel schedule, let me know.

Got it, rider – macros are the map, not the wind. Here’s a quick refuel cadence: start with a 70% carb, 20% protein, 10% fat snack every 30–45 minutes, boost electrolytes with a pinch of salt and a splash of citrus water. Mid‑ride hit a carb‑only gel at the 90‑minute mark, then at 120 minutes do a protein‑shake with some BCAAs and a touch of creatine to keep muscles humming. Finish with a protein‑carb combo as you wrap up. Stay on the clock, keep the drinks flowing, and watch the wattage rise. Ready to tweak it to your ride?
