About Texbiker.net

Texbiker.net covers the news, events and resources for those interested in Texas bicycling.

My bicycling passion was rekindled in 1979 with a Huffy bicycle from Woolco. From early rides around my neighborhood my enthusiasm grew to tackle my unsupported first century. From there I discovered organized rides all over Texas, races and mountain bikes. Many bikes and miles later the enthusiasm is still there.

Thanks to my late wife, Hazel Marie, for her support over the many years, miles and rides.

My primary bike is the Cervelo Caledonia Rival AXS below. My titanium bike is the Lynskey Helix titanium. My newest bike is a Canyon Endurace CF 7 Rival eTap.

Won’t I be a better bicycle rider if I ride hard every day?

Texbiker.net Posted on May 1, 2009 by Rick AnkrumMay 1, 2009

Dear Dr. Mirkin: Won’t I be a better bicycle rider if I ride hard every day?

If you exercise intensely when your muscles are sore, you put yourself at high risk for injury. The soreness you feel is from
direct muscle damage. Putting great pressure on damaged muscles causes them to tear.  Furthermore, sore muscles significantly
increase your needs for oxygen during exercise and slow you down (European Journal of Applied Physiology, March 2009).  That’s why athletes in every sport use the “hard-easy principle.”  To become a better rider, do a hard session (very fast and/or lots of hills)
so your muscles feel sore on the next day.  Go slowly for as many days as it takes for the soreness to disappear, and then take
another hard day.

Ear buds — do you use them? « Bike Noob
