Afraid I kind of know how you feel. I am always full of good intentions to stretch more when I get home but I'm always starving so afraid breakfast takes precedence. Then I sit at the computer and seize up.

You should maybe try just a very short pootle about spinning an easy gear. Might do more good than complete rest.

I find that a spray of "Better You" magnesium oil sports spray is very effective on tired legs. I never stretch before or after.... Just too lazy!

Am I the only one who had to google DOMS? I thought it had something to do with DOM-TOMs, i.e. French Overseas Territories.

I did not know what it meant, guessed it was cramps or somethings by the op

So did I. But it turns out to be what I call stiff.

Depends upon where, he is stiff someone many need to have the talk with him and its not going to be me.

I've found a nice relaxed ride loosens everything up again when I get a bit of DOMS. Hurts a little for the first five minutes but then I feel much better

Stretch and eat. But the main factor is conditioning

If you are still getting DOMs the day after the day after exercising it could be because your protein intake isn't high enough. Eat more protein! mmmm steak
