I felt fine till 2-3 days later Since then my thighs and hips are achy,no pain. My question is has anyone else experienced this. I was wondering if it could be muscle related or the beginning of arthritis. I am planning for a short ride on the weekend. If there is no improvement I will be seeing my PCP next week. Thanks in advance.
Possibly - could use lower gears for the hills than you now have...?
