I did a 100 mile ride up to Mammoth, AZ yesterday with some fellow crazies.  A 35+ mile gradual climb out of Tucson with a long, steep descent into Mammoth.  Of course that meant a long steep climb out of Mammoth before the 35+ miles of fun back down to  Tucson.  I have been wearing these new Recovery Socks during and after all of my rides for 3 weeks now. During yesterday’s long, hard ride I had absolutely no lower leg cramping whatsoever and my legs feel incredibly good today. I have found their patented “graduated compression technology” invaluable as a training and recovery aid. I have done several hard back to back hard rides since I started to wear the socks and have been amazed at how much better and faster my legs recover. I have not had even one  cramp in my lower legs even though prior to trying the socks, I was prone to cramping on hard rides. 4 weeks left to train for El Tour de Tucson. Wish I would have known about the socks several months ago!!! Oh well… Climb That Mountain!!!!!!!!!
