Firstly, thanks to everyone who answers all the newbie questions. It is such a huge benefit to get quality information regarding training when there is so much BS out there.
I am curious as to why I have noticed an increase in leg muscle mass considering that most physiologists and coaches emphasize that cycling is aerobic (although they occur also within the muscle)? If strength and force training is not necessary for cycling performance then why would I be building muscle to adapt to my training load?
