Tired Muscles Killing My Biking Fun ???

[Kirstie]

I am probably wronmg here but dont we use different muscle groups for cycling than we do for running/walking? perhaps your cycling needs to be increased somewhat so as to build the cycling muscle groups more...that way those muscles wont ache and it'll be more fun. I rode 110km a day + every day for the last two weeks in germany with a fully loaded tour bike and not once did my legs ache...I then tried to walk the dog around the park when i got home and OMG did i suffer!...my walking /running muscles are probably non exisitant...maybe your situatio is th eopposite of mine?

...ok...you can all tell me my theory is carp now

not carp. I just did the same. 14 consecutive days of 75+ miles on a slightly-less-loaded-tourer-then-yours-but-still-loaded and not much leg-ache...then I tried climbing the stairs today...ow ow ow!
