    Extreme quadriceps starting pain after 3-4 rest days

    Fellow sufferer here and also very glad to have found this thread. I found the pain sets in if I am off the trainer for 3-4 days. Now here is a question for the rest of you. Are you all riding road bikes or trainers? I ask because I don't have any issues when I ride my mountain bike. It only...
