No riding for me this weekend. I've got a cold so took the opportunity to drop the bike off for a service. The guy there commented that it looked in "mint condition" which made me feel rather chuffed because I give it a bit of a battering when it's out but make sure it's cleaned up properly afterwards.

in regards to cramp have a drink of water and a rest to let your body deal with the build up of lactic acid
if you just keep going thinking you are hardy your'e just building up more lactic acid quicker than your body can deal with it

Here's first ride on here for a week or two but it was a new ride out and a bit tough..

http://app.strava.com/dashboard?feed_type=my_activity.

I have two question you might be able to help with.

1/ I got cramp very bad in both thighs so what is the best thing to do, all I did was just carry on but very slowly but was I right to do that,
2/ How do a save a ride on Strava... if you can of course.

Cheers


Re save a ride on Strava, do you mean take the data off Strava and onto the computer? If so then you can extract the ride data in gpx format. Click on the ride you want and there will be an "Action" button on the right hand side of the page, click that and select "export gpx" from the drop down and away you go.

Very impressive ride

Or he meant you aren't riding it enough ^_^

I'm in my lbs that often they now make me a cup of tea and do any work in my bike whilst I wait

Thanks it was a good ride. :thumbsup:
Do you have to start a new file? or is it saved in the export gpx..

Cheers Paul.

If it's cramp them make sure your salt intake is ok
In the summer particularly you can get drinks with electrolytes in to help with this

Cramp is not the same as build up of lactic acid, cramp is when your muscle goes into an involuntary action, they can be small or quite large, and usually come about from a lack of salt. A packet of crisps helps.
