Guys,
I am starting to get real bad cramps and aches after about 2 hours riding.
Despite stops for fuel and the odd leg stretch, my 5 hour ride last Saturday
became an endurance test.
My right leg felt like it had a nail wedged between the upper calf and lower
thigh, whilst the right knee felt like it wanted to explode. Stretching this
leg out while riding caused all the muscles around my right hip to spasm and
cramp.
Now I am not the most relaxed rider, as I tend to ride with the assumption
that someone or something is waiting around the next corner to knock me off,
but at only 6 foot 1, I had hoped that the GTS would be more comfortable
than it is long distance. Maybe I'm just getting old, but I'm starting to
feel the need for a bike where my knee joint is obtuse rather than acute.
Any ideas on long distance comfort appreciated.
Regards,
David
