The majority of my summer riding has been quick 7.5-mile blasts to or from work, and I tend to push pretty hard during the commute. It seems that, as a result, I’ve been training myself as a sprinter! My goal was to maintain a steady effort at a cadence of about 90, but my legs were constantly begging to shift up a few gears and hammer away. As I reached the end of the ride I felt great — plently of energy left, nicely hydrated, ready to keep going! — but again my legs were a different story. They felt mechanically tired, not really used up but just spread thin from spinning for so long. (Perhaps… like butter scraped over too much bread?)

What was I talking about? Bike cream? Iceking?
