Leg Cramps

I'm hoping that someone can make a suggestion or give me some insight.

I have started getting cramps in my calfs (calves?) and my hamstings in the afternoon and at night. The soreness lingers for 24-36 hours. The cramps never have occurred while riding and usually occur on my off days. I have been regularly recreationally riding (75 miles a week+/-) since May and not overstressing so it's not a change in my routine. Even though it's very hot in the North East, I make sure to hydrate. The other day I'm reading in a coffee house and suddenly my hamstring seizes up. This morning I awoke to my calf on fire. I'm getting very frustrated.

Any thoughts on why this is happening and what I can or should do to stop it.

Thank you.
