Well, I rode on Wednesday, Thursday and avg's around 17.5mph then I attempted to ride again on Friday Morning and had no legs... Is this normal?
Is this nutrition
Yes. I'd recommend at least doubling what you eat before, during, and after your rides. Try to work heavy creams and fried meats into your go-tos, they help "burn through" your lactic acid build up and leave you feeling fresh.
