I still get 'em, but not at night. Rather, they seem to hit me while sitting at my desk at work, which always results in a panic move to straighten the leg as quickly as possible, which usually results on my banging my knee against something, which usually results in my shouting out something that I shouldn't be shouting out at work.

I've found that using an energy drink on longer and harder rides helps, as does 12 ounces of the same energy drink after the ride. However, on especially difficult rides, I'll get cramps the next day no matter what I do. To me it's a small price to pay for staying in shape.
