Five minutes after restarting, the inside tops of my legs began to cramp and spasm. The pain came and went, and I was able to finish the ride, but with great difficulty.
Any idea why this happened, and how to avoid it next time?
You need to give us more info/backstory. Are you a fast twitcher or slow twitcher? Masher or spinner? Seated climber or stander? What kind of climbs? Short and steep or long grinders?
