Great job, so happy to hear you love your bike.
The cramping could be caused by lactic acid build up, and/or electolyte imbalance. Did you eat or drink anything (other than water) on the bike? Next time I'd try an electrolyte drink on the bike and see if that helps.
Good luck on the next one!The best part about going up hills is riding back down!

Yup, I had gatorade in my li'l' camelbak on the bike. I didn't trust myself to finagle water bottles.

Good luck on the next one! My calves are the only thing left hurting (super tight!) as of today, so I hope I figure it out! I have been eating bananas like they are going out of style.
Thanks all!Last edited by teawoman; 08-14-2007 at 11:05 AM.
