I guess there is many ways of monitoring recovery; at one time in my life I used to ride with heart rate monitor as well as checking resting heart rate in the morning, looking at the trend I thought it gave me a good indication on recovery. I stopped wearing one of those a couple years back, now I do it by "feel", as a scientist (sort of), I will not argue with anyone who tells me this can be a bad idea. But since I've not been in a position to really overdo anything with only riding on weekends I have not been concerned about over training what so ever.
My new method, first try today, is to ride as hard as I can on sections you have done before, and with the features of Strava, PR = I'm recovering well....simple. The "feel" method had me thinking my legs wasn't feeling great, but my "ride hard" method tells me I'm doing ok :)
Looking forward to the weekend in Canmore.
Happy Riding!
