I tried to keep up with ian last week & pushed too hard..I too felt it for a few days..

I can't relax my right leg as i don't want it to give way.

I just wanna mtn bike! I don't wanna be just a roadie
I, along with a lot of other women I ride with, rarely stand on the mountain bike. I think I stand more on the road bike actually. I've found that standing on climbs makes me prone to losing steam and not being able to unclip suddenly as I tumble down random rocky hills. I sit and spin my way up and it's worked for some pretty tough climbs. Just some food for thought.
