By the time you read this I will have hit 65.
Have been doing quite well, mostly flat riding on Queenslands Gold Coast.
Generally I aim for four 25 Km rides per week to keep fit, typically I average this distance at about 22Km/hr.
Not spectacular I know, & I always feel a bit knackered after my ride.
Anyway to the point:
Today I developed early in my ride, what I think was cramp in my upper left leg.
I was able to continue slowly with pain & could not ride the pain away.
This is a "first" & I am a bit concerned, you don't want to find yourself disabled unexpectedly far from home.
Has anyone similar experiences or tips that might be usefully employed to prevent this.
BTW I take a magnesium vitamin pill daily.
Thanks
Peter O
