From the title I had to guess if you were 'worn out' which is a good thing, or if you 'wore nowt' which in this weather would not have been good

With regard ton aches and pains, I strongly recommend doing stretches after a long ride.

preferably done while you are still warm. Built it in to your routine for walking, running and cycling.

Not forgetting before the ride also

What do you do before the ride? I just keep peddling slowly for first 5 minutes till I feel comfortable on the saddle.

You should never stretch cold muscles. If you want to stretch before a ride make sure you warm up before stretching.

That is what I have heard before. Hence my practice of slowly warming up

 

[YahudaMoon]

I personally sometimes do my stretches when I get out of bed in the mornings just before my cycle commute, especially on cold mornings

My post cycle stretches come with my job when I get to work as its a very physical job

Sponge roller works for me, can be painful on sore legs for a while.
