Its finally warming up considerably in northern illinois and ive been counting the miles a lot. Got back in the gym for some weight training - crossfit type classes and holy hell my shins are in so much pain. After last fall i hung up the bike for a couple of months and i knew my bone mass density was pretty low, i couldn't even jump an inch or two off the ground without feeling like my legs might shatter. Its been only a month or so back on the steed and my legs feel like they are going to give out again.

how do you maintain bone mass density as a long distance rider? (more milk doesnt help, im lactose intolerant - although if i ever did race, what a way to put some distance with the person behind you, haha)
