Am I the only one whose legs and knees get sore after riding only 50 miles? Looking for ways to make riding more comfortable, particularly on my knees and legs. Hate to think at age 72 I'm getting too old to ride anymore.

About 3 years ago , I had to cut short my walks in the woods [Hunting] After a mile or two i was sore all over especially my legs...So i finally did something i rarely ever do, Voluntarily go to the Doctor...So naturally they send me for all kinds of tests, only to find nothing wrong. And the Doc paying off his Mercedes....And as I'm leaving as an after thought, The Doc says, Why don't you stop at Shop-rite vitamin aisle and try taking Magnesium'[OXIDE]... Now i can stay in the woods all day, Last winter i walked 8 miles with a biologist tracking a radio collared bear, With out any problems, Just last Thur/Fri i was cutting down and dragging out firewood..
Like every thing else on the internet ;Your results may vary...
P/S I hit 72 the other day...
Point is. You ride till you feel its time to stop. Your body is more important then your age.
I try and stop every hour. Just to get off the bike or trike. Then on the second stop usually stop for bathroom break and fuel. I'm 67 and have found that it's good not to pass up a good piece of porcelain!

+1 on taking Magnesium Oxide. I've been taking it for quite a while. It does help a lot!
As far as how many miles between stops, usually 100 miles max especially riding two up as my other half usually lets me know when to stop.

I wonder if that Magnesium would be effective against shin splints????? It will be worth a try.
