>>>>A good stretch and an ice bath immediatly after the ride would ease this.<<<
Once upon a time I would have a cold bath, but these days I just stand in the shower with it blasting cold water on my legs for about 10 mins after a long ride and when I get out I feel great. Just cannot be bothered sometimes though or I forget. It must be an age thing.
Probably as important as the rest together, IME. Unlike most sports, cycling doesn't fully extend the quads or hamstrings, so you can do huge amounts of exercise while they get progressively shorter and shorter.
I try to mix it up with swimming and running, but the older I get the more I find I have to do specific leg stretches as well.
