This tension is extremely irritating - the only way to relieve it is to stop peddling for a few seconds and then continue on a couple minutes, stop, etc etc. It usually happens around 20-30 minutes into a ride and persists the rest of the ride.

the only time I really feel tension in my quads while riding is if I push my power output close to the max - otherwise it seems like I’m always just riding 100% with my hamstrings and calves which puts me in the situation described above.

any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!
