I think I'm finally beginning to understand rest days after more than 30 years of training for competitive cycling. Rest doesn't mean no riding it means no pushing hard and I mean none. Strictly little ring and easy pressure on the pedals. I went out for an hour and a half today and barely broke a sweat. This will wake up my legs for tomorrow's race without taking anything away from them. I also think that even at this low level the stimulation of the movement is good for the muscles, but more importantly for the joints - especially the knees.
