I have ridden almost every day for more than 3 weeks and my legs were hurting all the time. Some days I am pushing VERY hard, other days I take it easy. I did 3-4 really hard-for-me rides a couple of weeks ago and then dh got sick so I did recovery rides for the next 3 days in a row, then I took a day off the bike. MY legs FINALLY started to feel a bit better. Also, started making sure I took the cal-mag before I rode and did way more stretching. All that helped I think. Now when I do a hard fast ride, or a climbing ride, I take easy for the next couple of days. (Easy for me means 20-30km with little if any climbing, HR not over 140.)
