Eeek.

I have no direct experience of recovering from such a long ride, but I did speak to a few riders/fellow volunteers at the Barnard Castle control.

Consensus was LEL is not something you recover from by having an afternoon nap on the sofa.

I was given the impression it takes a lot of riders anything up to a few weeks before they feel truly back to normal.

Sounds SMASHING! Where do I sign up?!?

I am greatly enjoying this thread: would like to do an Audax too, eventually :smile:

Calling @Edwardoka - Pat wants to do LEL!!

@vickster how long before I stopped complaining my feet felt weird?

I was back to full capability in a week or two. But it was 2 months before I started cycle commuting again, and I'm not sure how long before I felt normal.

(this is only for rides much over 1000km. I've recovered quickly from 600's)

Ermm, no :ohmy:
Have looked into 100km, but they are all so far away from me.
