After cycling for the last 2 weeks (65Km & 76Km) I have suffered inner thigh cramps about 2 hours or so after these cycling bouts. It starts when I am sitting down on the settee resting, the inner thigh of only my right leg begins to spasm and go into a debilitating cramp from my knee right up into my groin, possibly my gracilis muscle?. It doesn't affect my left leg. This is a new problem.
I have noticed my right heel has nicely polished my right crank so some sort of adjustment is needed ( I have just fitted a spacer to move my right pedal out by 20mm). I have read this may be a serious artery problem which affects cyclists due to the bent over position while exercising which kinks the main artery serving one of the legs reducing it's blood flow, this leads to the artery wall becoming hardened.
I am going to try some adductor strengthening exercises, that along with my pedal adjustment, I will monitor my progress.
Has this happened to anyone else?
