Did a fast-paced group ride with 20oz of Lucozade and 20oz of Water w/electolytes. Finished the ride with 1/4 bottle of water remaining. Noticeable improvement in recovery times after big efforts.

Immediately After Ride
Protein (20g) + Carb (40g) shake.

2 Hrs After Ride
Balanced breakfast + extra carbs added (25g banana)
2 Glasses of Water

4 hrs After Ride
I observe no fatigue. In fact, I only observe slight soreness in legs - which is pretty normal. Definitely feel like I could put out the same effort tomorrow.

Observed no significant weight loss post-ride (1lb).
Yes. That's about what I do also. We know we fueled and hydrated correctly today if we can repeat the effort tomorrow. That includes a century if one is in shape for it.
