Did 100 mile bike ride a month ago, tired but ok afterwards a hilly 45 last week no probs, 42 miles yesterday and can hardly get off my seat at work today. Weird how one day you are full of energy another day with no obvious changes there seems to be no fuel in the tank.

Just saying....

Have a go at altering your diet pre and post exercise it may help

Yep, its all about pre-ride fuelling and post ride topping up.

I did 110 miles on the road bike yesterday, wasn't do much the distance as the odd timing (set off at midnight) that did for me when i got home.

Didn't really fuel up for it as in eating correctly for 3 days before etc, had some rice and chicken beforehand, a coffee and Danish after 25 miles, egg and salmon bagel at 52 miles then just had a few energy gels for the next 60 miles.

legs were a little heavy this morning but nothing out of the ordinary, it was the getting back into a proper sleep pattern that threw me.
