Thanks!
One of my favorite short rides is to bike 5.5 mi to yoga, do 90 min of yoga that includes some amazing hip stretches, and then bike back. It helps me for days!
My network spinal analyst also points out that the upper back can also get very tight from biking if you're not positioned right (e.g., hunching over or gripping too hard). I try to stretch that as well.
