Last couple days, I've been trying to stay off my feet, icing, and stretching.
Yup. Spin easy and see how it feels. You'll know pretty quickly if something is off, in which case you spin home even easier and go back to R&R. If it was bad enough to take a few days off, I wouldn't push harder than easy your first day back on.
