51 miles for me today in the miserable wind! I was freezing cold for about the last 25 miles but it was just because I was under-dressed. It was a nice ride though, just got really annoying because of the wind.
So I had a weird thing happen when I got back to the car, which I'm going to blame on riding hard to fight the wind and on being too cold. Everything was fine and then all of a sudden on the freeway, my quads just freaked out. It wasn't exactly cramps, but they hurt SO BAD that I was doing lamaze breathing to deal with the pain. I finally had to pull off the road and stop. I tried rubbing them out but it wasn't helping, so I pounded on them with my fists and although I probably looked like a crazy woman beating herself, it helped a little. By the time I got home 45 minutes later, they felt fine again. I've never had this happen before. I've had leg cramps, but this was different. I kinda hope it doesn't happen again.
