Having not touched a bike in anger in 18 years, and leading a rather sedentary lifestyle, i decided to take it up again.
After a 15 mile "orientation" ride yesterday with bouts of cramping, bruising has now appeared.
Is this a reflection of complaining muscles used to nothing much going on in thier lives, or something i should keep an eye on?
I'm not worried per-se but i do find it unusual.
TIA

    Sounds like you've pulled a muscle. Have pulled my hamstring twice while playing football and it comes up bruised. :oops:

    nah, it didn't have that 'ping'. more like that leaden/wooden feeling when you cramp.

    I get bruising all the time up and down some veins in my leg (have done for a number of years). Been told it's nothing to worry about.
