Hey ladies,
I just posted in the getting to know you, so I guess I got the introductions out of the way. I have a leg cramp question for ya'll. Lately I've been getting leg cramps in the middle portion of my long rides (i.e. mile 40 of mile 55). I just moved to Florida and it is a lot hotter here than in Georgia. (I've been riding for about 4 years now) I drink a lot on my ride, a bottle an hour of sports drink. Sometimes the rides get pretty intense, more like road races, am I cramping because of just working harder than I'm used to or do I need to drink more? It happens mostly on the front part of my thighs upper to lower, almost to knee. I can usually ride through it, but I really lose power and have to slow down. What do ya'll do to avoid leg cramps?
