liam n Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 hi just wondering if this happens to anyone else but after a good days riding when i start to relax i get cramp all over my body. does this happen to anyone else ? Does anyone know how i can stop it, it hurts quite badly. yes all the time especially in the thighs which is the most painful of cramps, I even get it while brushing my teeth in the evening after a ride, the best way to prevent cramp is by drinking, lots, I find 3 pints of water helps. also salt can be a contributing factor so maybe some food with high salt content will help. once you have cramp the best thing to do is stretch the muscle and rub the muscle (using a lot of pressure while doing so.) then once the pain has left make sure the muscle is not raised in the air (for limbs). I hope this helps, just stay hydrated and you should be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T'owld T'hop Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 Vitamin and mineral deficiency can also contribute to cramps. Especially potassium. Try eating a banana 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
