Warming up before a ride ?

[T.M.H.N.E.T]

Too complicated for you hey?

You should have a read of your own post.

Before you warm up make sure you stretch but don't stretch if you are cold.

So before I do any warmup, I should stretch - but I will be cold as I haven't warmed up so shouldn't stretch.

Ok gotcha

Not really the subject to be funny in is it?

And no, you weren't being so.

Ooooer!
As you may know I have written a lot of serious stuff on this subject here in the past which I think entitles me to some levity.
Incidentally that last post, where you accuse me of being funny and NOT being funny is as logical as the post that caused you to say it.
Can I assume you were being serious?

I've written serious stuff on the internet also, doesn't entitle me to a medal or a round of applause.... Why not just repeat what I'll trust you've posted before?

Stretching cold muscle isn't the best idea.....

70% if I am staying below that no warm up, above that I spend 10 minutes gradually getting there.

As the title, warming up before going for a ride ? This question is more aimed at what you might call the casual cyclist rather than real road-heads. (To explain that, I enjoy going out on my bike for a casual ride, rather than sportives etc, however I do like to push myself a bit now and again.)

I tend to struggle a bit on the first three miles or so, I've noticed, but from then on I seem to feel totally energised and in the groove, and could probably ride all day !

So, 'casual' cyclists, do you warm up before a ride and how ?

i never warm up, first 20 mins or so can be a pain in the ass but i get used to it and can go all day literally, 40 miles on a mountainbike with 2.10 size knobbly tyres lol, got 1.75 less grippy ones now, just in time for all this ice
