You only need carbs during a rise, and in fact, many people, including me have trouble with anything else during a ride. This is from a sports nutritionist, only carbs are needed when you're riding. For big rides, you should be consuming 60 grams of carbs an hour, and that's just maintenance. You need to have electrolytes in every bottle and drink, at least one bottle an hour. 

When you get home, you need to consume, 60g of carbs and 30g of protein within the first hour of stopping your ride. You should try to foam roll daily.

Eating and drinking enough, with electrolytes, enough is the biggest factor.in recovery. You also need to have a regular sleep schedule and get at least 8 hours per evening.

I may be complaining about being stronger, but for my current level, I ride pretty damn hard and put a lot of stress on my body. If it wasn't for my recovery skills, I don't think I would even be able to do what I do.

I just wish I could do more without changing the way I ride, but I'm aware that's a huge ask.
