No stretching ever, during 50 years of riding and racing. Never bought into the idea that stretching is beneficial, and now there are lots of studies that have reported that stretching is of only minimal benefit at best and is often injurious (by, e.g., weakening connective tissue).
However, I enjoy the sight of fit young women stretching, so, by all means, encourage stretching.
