I don't usually have many problems when cycling - I can judge my energy levels quite well and I don't usually have issues aerobically, but I often get a soreness in my Quads after about 50miles of mid-to-high effort.
I'm not a doctor/DFP, so I'm not sure if this is just a case of not enough miles in my legs or improper stretching?...Anyway, the point of this thread is to try and get opinions on stretching pre/mid/post ride. (Yes I UTFS)
I know this may all be fairly common knowledge, but if anyone can provide some tips I think it'd help. I'm interested in stretching while on the bike. I try and alleviate the soreness in my quads by unclipping one foot at a time and doing this. Is there a safe way to do this on a fixed gear?
