  1. I am an overweight unfit returnee yesterday I cycled up the local
    hills (Pentlands), for those that know the area I cycled from Balerno
    to Glencorse and back, via a flint /crushed stone path thing and
    today my thighs are screaming in agony . Trip involved a lot of
    climbing but on the way back was all down hill, except a wee bit
    from Glencorse to a pass in the hills managed to get to some insane
    out of control speeds even with the brake blocks seemingly melting
    The high speed bits were on the road from the carpark at the
    Pentlands down into Balerno,even I am not daft enough to speed
    through sheep along a flint path.

    You don't say what kind of agony? Muscle-pain or chafing?

    I'm an overwieght unfit beginner. Some of the worst pain I have had was
    tailbone injury before I learned to sit properly.

    Eh??? Call me old fashioned and traditional, when I sit on a bike I put
    my bum on the seat and, errrrrr, that's about it. Works for me...

    Sorry about that was muscle pain, mostly gone now after another
    shower and some gentle exercising.think it was just a lactic acid
    build up (didn't warm down properly).

    She didn't say it was caused by sitting on a bike ;-) (Oh, and insertion
    of an 'h' in the right place is interesting, too.)

    Hmm, I have a slightly different problem. Having progressed from an unfit
    beginner to, I suppose, a reasonably fit regular commuter cyclist whose
    speed has gradually increased over the years, I now find that it seems the
    only way to get faster is going to involve pain of the searing lungs,
    throbbing heart and lactic acid aching of thighs variety. I have always
    ridden at the limit of what was 'comfortable' for me, albeit that as I got
    fitter that became faster, but now I don't think more is possible without
    willingness to undergo pain. It may have to be. Beastway season is coming
    up!
