On my past three rides I've noticed something new and annoying. Basically after riding for a little
bit, my calf starts to act like it is going to cramp up, but it doesn't. The odd this is that this
is the outermost muscle on my calf, the one the covers the calf, not the inner one where almost all
my other normal cramps occur. So after riding a little bit this muscle starts contracting on each
peddle cycle, each contraction is a little worse than the previous and they feel like at some point
the whole muscle is going to crampp up, I haven't let it actually do so though. On the past 3 rides
it has occured later in the ride each time, and it is also in my dominant leg.
Does this sound like any problem in particular? I've only rode about 750 miles but have never had
this problem before. Do I just need to stretch more? I haven't been drinking a lot of water lately,
which a friend suggested could be it. Any clues, it's really annoying me as it just kills a ride.
