Leg cramps while riding..ouch!

[WildKat]

Man I hate that, you're riding along and all of the sudden, Holy Shiate!! you're leg starts to cramp up and end up looking like an idiot as you stretch out your leg in all kinds of directions, standing up on your bike trying to work it out!

I dont get them too much while riding into to work since its only a 20 minute ride there..but on the long rides, sometimes they'll creep on ya.

[md86]

Um , yeah , that sucks . 'Specially for us with long legs and movement-restricting leather pants .

[katrider]

Yeah, that used to happen to me when I rode my daughter's Nighthawk...OUCH!

Funny story...I was on a group ride (Washington Govenor's Run) and was near the front of a small gaggle of bikes when I saw a dead possum in the middle of the road (good song title...), so I throw my left leg out to warn the following bikes. CRAMP!! Man, cramped up instantly!! Now I'm standing up, wiggling my be-hind to try and relax the darn thigh muscles. 5 more miles of this stuff, what a hoot it must have been for the bikes behind me

[Badkitty]

ya i hate that crap..my cramps arent in my legs but in my butt, my hip joint. Now im short 5' 5'' so sticking my legs out i can do, but sometimes u just gotta pull over ANYWHERE and stand up. I've actually had to get off the bike for 10mins before it went away.

I seem to remember a certain KR admin on the way to robbinsville standing up his bike and shaking his butt when I was riding behind him. I thought he was hitting on me till I realized he was just stretching

I crapped my pants once.

Not to long ago either.

[WildKat]

Cramp not crap !

[Cbass]

That is a riot lou

[SweetLou]

OOPS.

Damnit, I guess that is T.M.I. then, huh?

[WildKat]

yeah just alittle..especially right before bed... oh the thoughts in my head now, I cant get rid of them. Thanks lou !!!

[meanstrk]

Drink more water to help avoid those cramps.

No, not you Lou, you would just end up pissing yourself in addition to the massive lumpy skid marks in your draws. The resultant mud pie would be most disturbing

[duff daddy]

Word of advice...STAND UP when farting..so as to not "PUSH" to hard :P

[KAT6]

U wouldnt get cramps if you stopped and eat some where. Or I heard dont ride after you eat for 1/2 or is that a pool thing?

I used to get a cramp in my right leg whenever I first got on the bike. A little pre-stretching helped aleviate the problem.
