Hey guys, i am a complete newb so please excuse my utter confusion and annoying questions Now, I have been weight lifting/running for the past three years and the past three months, i have been concentrating on just "bulking" meaning NO cardio. I have gained about 14lbs total and am now 146 at 5'10. I recently discovered cycling and am now in love with it! Got myself a nice new bike by selling ALL of my "lazy" belongings such as video games. I am currently on a weight lifting schedule: 4 day split for hypertrophy. I want to become an avid and competitive cyclist and I figured this was a good age to get serious since I'm going to college this fall! (gonna join the cycling club ) Now, what do you all suggest I do? Should I just "get out there and ride" or should I have a set training regimen. Also, I STILL want to implement significant weight training in my week as well. I consider myself fit but not trained or "built to cycle"... I want to develop a very strong base for the rest of my life! So please any advice from you all on training would be greatly appreciated! My schedule for the next month before college starts is: wed-sun is work 10am-7pm and off mon+tues.

P.S I already know HOW to weight lift and how to establish proper nutrition for specific goals, I just dont know anything about starting this sport off on the right foot. Thanks so much guys (and gals ) for the help!
