Seconded. I've heard otherwise, that it is good to stretch, but not too intensely before a ride. Think light stretching to avoid injury, and often. When I developed tendonitis, my sports doc had me doing stretches and some plyometrics in addition to ice and advil. He was a sports doc for the cyclists during the olympics not too far back, and has recent, not antiquated knowledge.
