It all depends on the intensity of the ride/workout...If it's a low intensity ride/workout then the body is using mostly fat and not much glycogen for energy... A 4:1 ratio of carbs to protein will only lead to a possible weight gain since the person hasn't even used their glycogen...In this case more protein and less carbs would be more ideal.
