try mixing up the rides
HI,
If I ride hard I may coast the next day,
I use a cat eye computer to watch my progress speed and average speed ,I believe they help me to know when I am pushing it a bit.
Most bike experts worry about maintaining a good cadence or pedal speed if you drop below 80 pedals per min you will have lactic acid build up in your muscle, another common cause is knee flexor is to great at the bottom of the stroke, if your knee is stil bent at the bottom of the stroke the veins and arteries may not be able to allow good blood flow most of the flow comes from the flexure of muscles if the knee is bent the vein can act like a valve and prevent good flow. ( bike dosen't fit rider)
PS it supposed to be pleasent to ride your bike not a race start slow till you warm up. I may only do a couple sprints as I get near my home.
My 2 cents.

Alittle tylenol or analgesic can go along way.
My freind swears by sauna's for sore muscles/
