One of my cycling partners always chides me for riding too much instead of training properly ..... and sometimes my legs get "bien cuit" - well cooked. I think two days rest sometimes is a very good thing .... and can lead to feeling much better. At least for me. three days and I am too antsy. My recent snow bonk ride was supposed to be a day off .... but when something fun beckons us addicted cyclists have no choice but to ride :) Congratulations, it sounds like you have been doing some good riding.

Sure, it's not the "Pro" kind of schedule but you're cranking out some serious miles and I'm guessing you're still on your feet in a regular lifestyle. Maybe not a lot of extra time for recovery sleep and no massages everyday. Take a couple of days off... meaning "NO" pedaling. You'll feel so much better once you get going again. Your body will thank you. Great miles… but yes… make yourself rest.

Not from over training, but I suspect from under training. See you Saturday. I have felt that before. Not from over training, but I suspect from under training. See you Saturday.

Both the Monster Climb trip and my TdF trip involve riding hard multiple days in a row. @Mike - oh man, they were really bad. Even on the trainer today I had a hard time keeping the pace up and my HR at 70%. @thePig – I’ve got to figure out the multi-day thing.

You really are doing some miles! I have never thought about it before as having a conversation with your body. I have never got to the point of hurting more when not pedalling. The worst it has got for me is my legs have been sore to touch, like the whole length of them is bruised. This has come about when doing multi-day bike tours when you have no choice but to wake-up in the morning and drag yourself over that next climb. Great post Arlyn. You really are doing some miles!
