I'm curious, how long does it take the average cyclist to get into optimal shape. Now, I know there are a lot of ways to tweak your body so that you are optimal, but I am merely wondering how long it might take for someone to more or less reach their max potential. For instance, is it possible to do this in a month or two with good training? Am I correct in assuming that a more talented rider will be able to realize their potential more quickly than a less talented rider? Thanks again.
