im really scared, last sunday rode a 22mile time trial and got a small cold afterwards, havent riden all week which is unusual for me.
went out for a little spin yesterday as didnt have much time and when i pushed or pulled on the pedels my calf and quad muscles felt like they would after riding a race.
went out for a club run this morning and turned back after 20 minutes as couldnt hold the pace, and suffered with the same problems, whereas usualy im fine with the speed.
have my muscles disintergrated or what???

It's not unusual to have "wooden legs" if you had a whole week off the bike, especially if your last ride was a hard one.
If you are feeling well in yourself, just have on or two easy spin rides to get back into it before upping the intensity / distance to your normal level.0 -
cheers bronzie i'll try doing that0

Make sure your diet is good, lots of protein and carbos, and slowly increase your intensity.0
