I generally do some stretching after long rides, or any longer physical activity as part of the cool down. Sometimes it seems to help, sometimes it does not. I've found that I beat my body up more doing yard work than on a bike, but that is to be expected, since I'm using other muscle groups not typically used with cycling, so I make sure to stretch in the garage after I have put everything away.

you should learn to embrace change, and mock it's failings every step of the way.
