Anyone else suffer from this?? After a day on track my legs ache like hell, getting up stairs at work is horrible. Dunno how I'm gonna manage a whole race weekend with test day
Hahaha!! Me too! Saturday made my thighs kill, not helped by doing a whole out on the downhill mountain bike yesterday either. You will soon get into the swing of it though. I found that it all got easier about halfway through the season. plus you do more laps on a trackday than out racing anyway, but you do work harder during a race though.
before a race now, I do tend to do a few stretches beforehand and this does tend to help. I also enlist the help of a brolly dolly to give me a good massage afterwards because club racing is full of brolly dollies.
i ache after getting the bike out the garage at the mo. as robin says, it does get easier as season goes on. not done 100's of trackdays but same for the road riding, come the summer tour I can spend all day riding and not ache one bit. one tour we do 300 odd miles every day for 9 days and although i ache, not as bad as after first few rides of the season. i'm hoping the racing will be the same shall see how i feel come sat after snet....
Believe it or not YT, all my injuries last year were down to brolly dolly related incidents. Not once did I fall off the bike. The dislocated shoulder and broken bone in hand were purely down to brolly waving bints and their desire to stop the aches and pains in my Adonis like figure.
Yeah I do squats helps my legs my shoulder hurts worse after breaking collar bone . . I'm thinking the same we have 4 20 lap races over 2 days then practise qualifying eek
Ya bunch of Jessies! Got years on U lot and can't say I ache particularly? Did find me self sweating like 'Oscar Pistorius on a Murder charge' though last time out!
