    If dehydrated or glycogen deficient (ie you don't have enough glycogen in your muscles), your legs will feel empty.

    Does this happen frequently ACG? At what point in your ride? How long have you been riding?

    I felt suddenly "winded" in my legs going uphill as I began biking again when I was recovering from my really bad recent cold. The winded/exhausted leg feeling is now fading away as I feel a bit better and stronger each day. It's quite a dramatic feeling- very sudden, right in the main leg muscles.

    I've always found this real funny

    After I do a long and hard ride and I've had an hour or two to recover, rehydrate, etc., I will have a beer. I can immediately feel that beer in my quads like I'm winded in the legs. It is the weirdest thing
