Hi all.

After some VR advice as ever..

for about two weeks now I've been getting aching and significant tightening (not cramp) in both quads after comparatively short rides (2hours ish).

I've made no adjustments to any of my bikes or any change in position, riding style or duration of rides.

Tried stretching, eases it for about 20secs...then it resumes.

It's making for significantly unpleasant riding Sad

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Ciao

I usually suffer from that type of symptom after I've been doing DIY or gardening. For your quads to be sore/aching you must have been doing something that works them hard (think of squats) or a repetitive movement lots of time. Sounds like you need to rest them.
