I can remember the ride when I got back and thought my legs were more sore than normal (wasn't on the drops for any longer than usual) and it was a nice day, roads were clean and not slippery for once so my pace was a lot quicker than it had been over the winter months. I'm pretty much convinced it's my own fault for pushing too hard. Absouletly nothing has changed on my bike fit, I even took measurements a few weeks back to make sure because I was getting paranoid about it!
It's been improving, the last couple of weeks my legs have been sore the evening after a ride but the next day no pain at all, but then sitting at a desk in an office all week I don't think helps so they do tighten up a bit towards the end of the week. Now the weather is getting better and the days staying lighter for longer I can start getting out during the week as well. Going to invest in a turbo trainer this year though so I can keep at it during the winter.
Only been cycling properly for a year so guess I'm still learning.
