I'm just getting into road biking and I'm trying to make a good training schedule, but I don't know where to start. For instance, how many miles/week should a beginner road biker go? How much is too much? Should I try and find a coach? I really don't want to get burnt out before I even get into it :o

I am not an expert. I have been riding for 2 years.

Depending on your age start slow and add 10% distance a week. Every 4th week take an easy week.

Ride for fun. Explore different routes. Let your body be your guide. If you are tired take it easy. If you have excess energy push harder.

I find bicycling to be a blast. I commute to work and I think God almost every day I ride that I am riding a bicycle.
