Tough ride in this morning, sluggish and sore. Last night my left quad cramped terribly at about 2 am, not sure why. I must have been dehydrated so, I slugged a glass of water to try to catch up. It cramped so severly that I couldn't move the rest of the night for fear of aggrevating it, I could barely get around to go to the bathroom, kitchen, etc-it actually hurts right now. I'm going to continue to catch up on water and get back on the magnesium supplements (I stopped taking them during the snow storms, I didn't ride for about 2 1/2 weeks), see if this is the cause or, if it was an anomoly. Maybe the bacon sandwhich that I stuffed down my gullet at 9 o'clock had something to do with it. Looks like they're backing off of the predicted rain for today, tomorrow and Saturday look to be soakers though. Great.
