. I can do 11miles in about 1 hour on a fairly easy trail, mostly flat, with some minor hills. When I do cycle and i hit larger hills its like my muscles start burning right away, and i want to do the hill stuff but its like im so bad at it after a 2 mile ride going up and down hills im wasted. Anyone got tips for me? Im 5"8 150lb, so im not obese or anything, lol.
Just go out and have fun. I got back into biking 4 years ago and my first ride was just a 4 miler (didn't want to get a sore arse). My legs felt like they were the size of 55 gallon drums. Every week I'd increase my miles a bit or take a longer weekend ride and by the end of the year I did my first century. Endurance takes time...
