To produce the energy needed, the body begins another process, which works in the absence of oxygen. Lactic acidâa byproduct of this processâlocks up your muscles, and because it is an acid it causes your muscles to experience that burning sensation.But lactic acid is completely washed out of the muscles within 30 to 60 minutes after you finish riding.o produce the energy needed, the body begins another process, which works in the absence of oxygen.

Elevated lactate levels can affect your heart rhythm. Lactic acid is a by-product of the process cells use to produce energy. As cells convert glucose to energy, they use oxygen. If there is not enough oxygen within the cell, the cell is still able to produce energy, but also produces lactic acid. The cells releases lactic acid into the blood, where it is converted to a similar molecule called lactate. High lactate levels within the blood can harm your cells, the University of New Mexico warns.
