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.
Chopper Chopper
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?
Chopper Chopper
Sounds solid. Keep the electrolytes up, watch the hydration, and don’t overdo the creatine – it doesn’t help much on a long ride. If you feel lightheaded, drop a bit of carbs, not protein. That’s the tweak.
Kachan Kachan
Nice tweak – hydration first, electrolytes second, protein a safety net, carbs the fire. Keep that balance tight, drop the creatine unless you’re in a sprint segment, and you’ll cruise past the lighthead zone. You’re doing the math right, now just push through!
Chopper Chopper
You got it, just keep it tight and you’ll be fine. Let's hit the road.

Alright, let’s crank it. Keep the heart rate in check, breathe like a champion, and remember: every pedal is a push toward the next personal best. Let’s crush it!
Chopper Chopper
You got it. Keep the chain tight, the pace steady, and don't let the ride get sloppy. Let's do it.

Chain tightened, pace set—time to hit that sweet spot. Keep the rhythm, stay sharp, and let’s own the road. Ready, let’s roll!
