You guys are great. I have been to the health food store and found a supplement that hopefully will help. I have called the bike shop and am going to get fit on my bike. I have been drinking more water today than usual and hopefully when I go out tonight to practice before the ride tomorrow night I will not be so dehydrated. I really believe that could be part of the problem. I drink water, but I am sure not enough.
I really wish I would not have ridden 15 miles that first night. Everyone is now expecting that and I agree with you all... to much too soon. Time to back up and do this right.
Thank you again!

I am STILL doing 5 mile rides 80 miles after I started riding my bike. I never have a problem with my legs, and my avg. mph is getting higher each week. If anything, my calves are a little tight, but no spasms yet. I also stretch out my legs in all ways before riding. My DH is a former elite distance runner, so he really gets on to me about stretching before and after rides. Hope your legs feel better soon!
