Been a big fan of core work and stretching over the years (as I have scholiosis), and found my recovery time improve accordingly. Any of you guys care to put up any cycling specific routines that you've found helpful.

Just been introduced to pilates by my ballerina sister and am absolutely hooked!

I absolutely love Pilates. I heard about it for surfing originally.
I don't have a cycling specific routine but I got this beginning Pilates book. I'll look up the name and tell you. I just taught myself from the book, starting like she recommended with the first seven for the first week and after about two months of 4-5 20 minute self sessions a week I felt amazing. For the first tjme in my life I have lines visible on my stomach, I'm way more flexible, I stand straighter.
I'll tell you, it seems pointless even while you are doing it. I mean you feel a tired and shaky stomach, but it really doesn't seem like these weird motions are going to do anything. But if you stick with it I assure you they do.
You can also watch YouTube videos.
