Certain times of the year I have to put in extra training. The Sunday ride is longer and the gym sessions get progressively harder or the Midweek night rides get harder and longer. You would think that this would improve me and it does but the day after a hard session Hurts.

This normally starts in February and you would think that all this exercise and I would be used to it. I may be but the body isn't. Daft thing is on the Monday. That is the day I have stiff legs after a 50 mile offroad. I have to try and keep active on these days and although I am desk bound nowadays- I keep finding reasons to get out and check stock or walk up 3 flights of stairs or just do anything physical. If I don't, then I am still sore on Tuesday, which is when I go to the gym or night ride.

Then after the ride I train for- I cut back on the exercise but do longer rides at the weekends but still get out on the bike in the week. Then Comes November and I cut back. Then February arrives and the Pain of stiff legs start all over again. I Never learn.
