Thanks everybody who helped me.
I have taken it for a few long training rides using Cyccommute's advice of using rice and beans or water in the panniers.
Here's the thing. I keep getting debilitating cramps! I have tried extra water, bananas, gatorade, and pedialyte, and no matter what I do after about 30 miles I get the kind of seizing cramps that almost make me fall off my bike. SO PAINFUL.
It's weird, I don't feel tired at all, it's just my legs won't cooperate.
I've got to solve this before my upcoming tour...
What should I do?
Thanks!
Two things, in my opinion:
- See a physician about the cramps
- Have a bike shop check the bike's fit for you
