I am actually going out today to ride the MTB after a nice 21 mile ride yesterday. Legs still have the post ride tingle.
I know nothing but this type of reaction, I only started riding 3 yrs ago at 50, and I am either sore or tired, or loose and riding ever since
not too much in between, at least you have something to compare to, I wish I had started earlier,
just started taking some more vitamins, hoping that helps with recovery, there is a ton of stuff I should try to make it better,
just doesn't seem to be enough time, every day seems to be a struggle
