Does anyone stretch....

[Flyingfox]

..after a long ride?

I did a 34 mile ride today, with quite a few small hills and strong head wind on my way back. I can certainly feel it in my glutes and hamstrings, and am now wondering if I should have done stretches afterwards.

I Stretch after short rides too

Quads ceased-up a couple of months ago when I didn't stretch after a pretty short ride and it was v painful so now I always stretch.

 

[buggi]

nope.

Sittyduck properly streatches after a football match as well, hardly ought to shout about in one of those things


I do on longer rides because otherwise it can hurt, but rarely do because Im young and nimble.

[yello]

Sometimes. If the muscles are feeling a bit tight but as a general rule I don't.

i did a fast 60 mile training ride yesterday, didn't stretch and this morning my left knee hurt. it seems to be a bit better, although the ride home may prove otherwise.
