I have suffered from this in the past and found that I could ease it
by loosening my shoes and wiggling my toes intermitently as I ride
and/or stretching the calves whilst on the bike by dropping my heel.

I get this but find the more I cycle the less I get it.
Also are you drinking enough, cramp can be caused by dehydration.
