I've got some very sore and achy muscles, mostly arm and leg but also groin. This came on Wednesday, got worse Thursday morning, then improved during the day (after 2 Ibuprofen) and bad again when I woke up this morning. The only thing I can attribute it to is riding on Sunday following a Saturday skinful. I felt fine whilst riding, it was certainly not a hard or long ride, but what else could it be? I don't feel poorly per se, but I've not felt like this just from riding a bike ever, even after rides 3 or 4 times as long and hard.
Is this BIDOMS?* STW medical professionals, do your best to panic me 🙂
*Booze-induced delayed onset muscle soreness
No you are just getting old... 😆
^ 😀
two words 😉
You have aching muscles. To quote Brexit "Get over it."
<Frantically F5ing to see if anyone has any useful comments. Is disappointed>
Seriously, I would be interested to know if anyone else has had this.
I ride road and MTB reasonably regularly. The ride on Sunday was only a 30 miler and not a desperately hilly one at that. It's the kind of ride I'd knock out of an evening without breaking a sweat so why do I feel like I've been in a man-sized tumble dryer for 2 hours? Is it even anything to do with the bike ride or is it quite simply that the dehydration from the drinking session on the Saturday (admittedly a bigger session than usual) meant that even walking to the shops for a Lucozade would have caused me muscle soreness?
It's not the first time I've done exercise hungover so just a bit surprised it's hit me so hard this time.
aching muscles ?
50:50 in my mind, rhabdomyolysis or tetanus
... or all caused by pissed-dancing ?
No dancing, but good suggestion 🙂
rhabdomyolysis or tetanus
@scaredypants that's what I expected 😆
Male testosterone fatigue uhl-anomaly
Otherwise known as MTFU.
It's just biorhythms init,the next phase you will be awesome.
Try to tune any drinking in the future to your cycle. 😛 😉
Cat AIDS.
The bad cat aids? surprised it hasn't been mentioned already.
Edit ^^^ must type faster
How fit are you? Was the ride in question much longer and harder than normal?
Maybe you have a cold.
then improved during the day (after 2 Ibuprofen)
Taking drugs for achy muscles 😯
MTFU
Go for a jog or a short bike ride, it should ease it off. If you feel like sh!t you have cat aids or a virus
Was the ride in question much longer and harder than normal?
From OP
I've not felt like this just from riding a bike ever, even after rides 3 or 4 times as long and hard.
Not was I expecting sympathy for one minute 🙂 , but I've done lots of (much bigger/harder) bike rides recently and done lots of drinking, so neither are new experiences for me. The way my body has reacted this time is new though and *maybe* it's because Saturday's drinking was a much bigger session than usual. I had no uncomfortable or adverse effects whilst riding.
Just seeing if anyone else had combined a serious bit of boozing with a bike ride and had similar effects, or whether this is nowt to do with the drink and the ride.
