Great stuff - thanks! It's definitely a different set of muscles than running - plus I don't sprint very often when I run so that's new as well. I plan on riding 4 times a week as I work out with a trainer 2 days a week. That will give me 1 day off from some sort of exercise per week. That's the goal anyway - with work that requires some travel it will be hard to be consistent but I plan on putting the time in to improve on the bike.

I like the 10%+ every week goal. I just started recording my miles on Excel and plan on trying to keep that 10% goal in mind. And good info on the 500/1000 miles range that it takes for the legs to get used to it. That's helpful to keep in mind.

I plan on going back out tonight once it cools down and getting more miles in. Probably wasn't the best idea to go out during the early afternoon in this heat. Got a workout tomorrow and then taking the kids to Kings Island (an amusement park in OH) on Thursday so want to make sure to get in some more.
