50+ Motion is lotion?….

    Like a lot of us on here I’m sure I’m over 50 ?? 

    One thing I’ve noticed after 45+ years or riding, racing and crashing bikes if I take more time off the bike I do get more achy, in my joints particularly. I had done a fair few miles recently so took a couple of easy weeks which tied in with being away with work so much less riding than normal, and now feel way worse for it, achy knees etc. And it’s not that the big weeks were huge or a big jump up in distance (450k)

    I know the old maxim “lotion is motion” but I’ve never really believed it…but today I maybe do… 

    Does anybody of a similar vintage find the same if they take time off? ?

    At 53 my joints ache

    At 53 my joints ache frequently. Somewhat perversely they ache enough for me to think the bike is too much, yet when I ride the joint aches do disappear for a while …to be replaced with aching muscles.

    I’m 51. I find I get restless

    I’m 51. I find I get restless legs if I take a couple of days off. No other issues yet.
