After a long, hard ride I sometimes experience cramps in the hamstrings a few hours later. It usually occurs after resting, then bending the leg to engage the muscle. If I catch it immediately I can straighten the leg and stretch the muscle, making it quickly dissipate. Fortunately, it doesn't happen very often.
