Cycling with the ache?

[xzenonuk]

I stress that I'm not talking pain or injury, rather the nice ache you get in your legs the day after a challenging ride.

I tend to associate it with my muscles, such as they are, strengthening or repairing themselves.

Is it best to wait a day until this subsides?

I stress that I don't NEED to ride - I don't commute and nor do I wake every day facing stage of Le Tour.

Nor do I care anything for so called training regimes - I am not a racer.

if i thrash my muscles i leave them a day or 3 sometimes 4 depending how sore they are the next day, if not sore enough i will go out again like has been mentioned it is just knackered tears on muscle fibres and they grow back stronger

some times lift weights as well, used to knacker leg muscles with bike then while they recovered i would do the arms,shoulders etc and repeat

Nope, just weight bearing exercise...ie walking, jogging...unlike cycling which is nwb

no to jogging.
weight bearing in that it can bugger your knees. Never seen anyone who really looks like they enjoy it.
I no longer drive so walk or cycle everywhere when not on public transport.
Everything about exercise "regimes" or planning or training is a total turn-off.
Am happy with the cycling.
