    Went on a long one on sat. 110 k by myself in the hills and was wondering how long it takes people to recover ie. To get on the bike to so more.

    Usually wouldve headed out tonight but just felt wrecked so said is do bot on turbo. Lasted three minutes as legs were lead.

    Any thoughts

    You should do a recovery cycle, something really easy for about an hour or so the day after a hard day on the bike, so dont be too put off if your legs are heavy the recovery spin will help sort them out

    On the other hand rest is what builds the muscles.. There is no harm in taking a day or two off to let your body catch up with what you have done. It depends on your current fitness level but if your hurting take it easy, its a long year ahead and esp at this early stage its easy to hurt oneself by pushing it too hard. a recovery spin is good so long as it doesn't 'hurt'.
