I was wondering what's the best form of recovery after some heavy rides, a gentle spin or complete rest?

I prefer a very gentle 30 minute spin on my rollers, just to get my legs moving. May be completely wrong, but it feels better for me.0

I find that an easy recovery ride followed by some stretching the day after a hard ride will ease sore muscles more than doing nothing at all.0

I have a 25 min commute mon - fri, and as my hard sessions include tuesday and thursday I use the commute to spin on rest days. It's hard not to burn it (FCN's and all), but I do feel the benefit..."And the Lord said unto Cain, 'where is Abel thy brother?' And he said, 'I know not: I dropped him on the climb up to the motorway bridge'."
