pre-ride stretches

[Nighthawk016]

im going riding next Saturday for the first time in forever, other than excessive hydration, does anyone have any workout, or stretching recommendations?

I dont wanna feel like I got a crap kicked out of me after riding, thats my goal.

My back is the most important stretch for me.
I do all the stretches from HS wrestling, seems to limber me up the most. -BIG DAN

I don't ever do any stretching before a ride, but I use a kidney belt, and it seems to help me considerably in the area of my lower back in the crap kicked out of me department.

you're young man. It shouldn't bother you at all. Wait till you get to my age then it will really start to get to you.

I just do regular gym class stretches and try to rotate my arms shoulders and hips. This gets the blood flowing into these joints and prelubes them.

I have a personal "fluffer" do my stretches before a movie shoot and/or long ride.

Thanks for the replies guys, no I don't lift, no access to a gym honestly, so I might go ride my bike this week.

Stretching is not a bad idea, I never do though, because omfg yay durt bikes

Simple stretching to get the muscles loose is always key before a ride. Water down is also a plus. Big thing to do is remember to ride loose. No matter what you do, you will be sore after a ride if it has been awhile.

I don't know about just a trail ride, but if you finish a race and you're not tired, you did it wrong.
