Been trying to figure something out and so far no luck so I thought I would try the forums for insight. I have slowly built to being able to crank out 20 mile rides and climb 7 plus percent grade hills relatively easily. However I keep getting calf cramps. It is not confined to one leg. The weather does not appear to be a factor. The type of ride in terms of intensity or terrain does not seem to make a difference. I stretch before I ride, I eat a banana about 10 minutes before I leave my house, I start drinking water before I ride, and drink about a quart of water during my rides. Despite this I still get these cramps pretty regularly while riding. I can stretch them out and keep going, but they definitely impact my rides. Any ideas how to fix this issue?
