Aching legs from not riding

[gregc]

Seems to be getting worse each year.. I'm a 45 year old master.. I ride/train a lot and have for a lot of years...I'm wondering if anyone has an explanation for something that happens to me each 'off season' After 6 days completely off the bike my legs begin to ache.. after a couple more days it get so bad I'm taking ibuprofen. Then I start riding again, and after a couple days... no more pain...and I'm good until I stop again... And thoughts??

It's called Bike Detachment Disorder (BDD).

Maybe muscle atrophy setting in?

Perhaps get the blood tests to determine whether there are signs of muscle cell injury or deterioration as mentioned in that thread.
