BTW - I am thinking of adding a road bicycle to my collection. For a casual rider I think the 2019 Giant Contend SL 1 disc will be sufficient.

I can't speak for others and I am by far any high miler when it comes to road cycling, but when I get hamstring twinges and or pain there, I tend to back it off and wait at least a week before I try riding again. But I don't try and attempt any KOM's up hills etc. Perhaps a flat spin and seeing how the legs feel will gauge what damage you have done. If discomfort or pain persists then go see someone who is a professional. Perhaps look at bike fit and see if there is anything there that can been tweaked in order to reduce this becoming a future issue.
