For you guys who cannot get DOMS on the bike, go to the track and do a sprint tournament that includes one flying 200 meter and three match sprints against competition and you will have a problem riding your bike the next day due to quad muscle soreness.

In fact, in the 2012 masters track nationals in Trexlertown, I did the 500 meters, pursuit and team pursuit. The 500 was the first event and everything came together and I managed to podium. The next day my legs were sore and I sucked in the pursuit. It is always a matter of how hard one goes compared to a baseline that may generate muscle soreness.
