Today I rode my bike to my company’s office in Naperville. It is a 25-mile trip one-way and I have been taking IL-38 (Roosevelt Road) from Oak Park to this location. I tried to protein load last night to give my legs a good opportunity to recover. However, this morning my legs were still feeling the pain from all of my riding this week. I tried to focus on “spinning” (pedaling between 80 and 90 rpm) so that I would not overexert myself. I think it helped because I was able to sprint with no problems late into my ride.
When compared to the 50-mile ride I did on Monday, this ride was much more difficult because I was carrying approximately 25lbs. of stuff on my back (work clothes, files, shoes, etc.) and the traffic was pretty heavy.
