I’m going mountain biking tomorrow, what are the stretches I should be doing?

I’m going to be mountain biking for the next 3 days @ Yosemite National Park.. I don’t want to ride for 1 day and have my muscles tighten and be in bad shape! Can anybody tell me what type of stretches I should be doing to avoid having a strained muscle?

Make sure you start at a moderate pace to warm up at the beginning of each ride and after an extended rest stop. No stretching before your ride.
After the ride take stock in what muscles you have used. I usually stretch hamstrings, glutes, calves, hip flexors, back, and quads. Make sure to hydrate adequately and taking electrolyte tablets can help avoid cramps if you’re sweating a lot.
