I rode 29 miles today. I ran a trail marathon yesterday, with no running training, and my legs were toast. Frozen up toast! I got on my bike in the yard to make sure I could turn the pedals, and it seemed less painful than walking. It was our bike club's picnic, out at this spring, and when I got on the bike, at first, my legs felt deader than they ever have- like there was nothing there at all. But after a few miles, they warmed up and quit being so painful, and after a few more miles, though not back to normal, they were good enough. I'm sure it was much better to go for a recovery ride than to lay in bed all day! We rode on a paved trail I hadn't ridden before, followed by a dip in the 72F spring (brrr!!!) and a barbeque lunch. Great day.
