Did you add the pre ride routine because you felt you weren’t warmed up enough or out of a vague hope they might give you some improvement? I’ve always kept my core/flexibility sessions completely separate from riding (and rowing back when I used to do crew) for a similar reason to what you’ve described. I have been finding since I started TR that the warmups in the sessions are more than enough for me. Personally I’d listen to your body if you think the activation plan is hindering workouts, but I’m not well versed in sports science
