Jelly quads

Posts: 25
Recently I have bought my new MTB. I have been out on it twice so far on 7 mile tracks. Both times i have had to stop often as my quads go to jelly!
I can only get out on my bike about once a week at the minute
Is there anything I can do to help build strength in my legs when I am not riding which will ultimately assist when I get back on? I am overweight
but dont think I am extremely unfit. My lungs and breath seem fine its just me legs that give in!
I know I could just google this but I wanted tried and tested methods from people like myself!
Thanks in advance!

Just give it a while... if you've just started back riding, you'll be using muscles you haven't using in ages... your body will be like " arrghh... wtf is going on here".
You could try some running, or get a home static bike thingy...
Personally I don't think there i any better exercise for your legs than mtb'ing because its not a static exercise, and thats after 8 years of strength training for rugby
