The bad....sore legs
The good....feel great on the bike.
Painting contractor? It's spending an entire shift on stepladders that does me in. Guaranteed leg cramps that night. I have to force myself to go for a ride that evening, even if short distance or on the indoor machine. It helps me a great deal to relax the tight leg muscles. Magnesium supplements or gel before bed, and pickle juice for actual attacks.
