I'm looking for some good workout ideas for weight training for cycling. I have been cycling regularly and weight training, but I'm just looking for some ideas on a more specific approach. What kind of workout plans do you all follow?
Note; I would consider myself (at this point) cycling for fitness. I have some weight to lose and will be working on progressively longer rides. Currently I'm pretty low at just a few rides a week, most around 20-40 minutes. We're coming off a rough winter in Ohio. For the past 4 years I had been riding a hybrid department store bike - it did alright but I was looking for a little more performance and interested in entering several more riding tours. A couple weeks ago I bought my first "real" road bike - a Giant Rapid 3. It's been GREAT, though with our weather I've only been able to ride it twice since I bought it lol. Last summer I rode in a 50mile tour that was really enjoyable - looking to do several of those this year.
