I have to say I think the best way to decrease recovery time is to consume protein and carbohydrates directly after workouts and plenty of light stretching while your muscles are still warm. Then when you get home get plenty of rest. The following day it is importain to ride or other cardio exercise in light intensity… this will improve blood flow and help reduce the soreness. Icing and ibprofen can help with reducing the damaging swelling from impacts that we all get on the trail too… hope this helps
