Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Got that spinning feeling

Just did a 90+km ride yesterday, and today at times I felt like my legs had this spinning feeling.

Normal?

I only get that on short intense rides. Such as my comute to work which is all uphill but only 1 mile (1.6km).

Cordia, was that your first long ride? Perhaps your leg muscles just aren't used to it yet?

Yes it was!

I was so glad i stayed with the pack, all the spinning work the last 2 weeks helped. My muscles haven't been used for such a sustained effort in a long time, and i was positively bonked at the end.
