I had wondered how long lactic acid sticks around - and they always get sore during rest weeks - calves and one hamstring One of my "corrective exercises" given me at my new gym is a "search and destroy" on my calves with the massage stick...I now have one at home. My trainer/coach seems to think that this is the second most important out of the 6 correctives they have given me. Part of their fitness assessment is to determine those areas in which we need strengthening or to pay extra attention...

If the wind allows I hope to go on an easy ride tomorrow and will try to remember to pay attention to what my feet are doing. I also need to get into the habit of applying the stick every exercise or ride day...

Thanks all!
