Thanks for the reply, Carbonfiber. I like the idea of lifting after a cycling workout. I'm about to move from my current location, but if there are gyms close enough for that to be convenient I may try that. In terms of the high reps, that makes a lot of sense to me, plus I'm losing my spotter when I move, so the heavy weights aren't great anyway. I do want to improve performance on the bike, but having overall strength is big for me. I stopped lifting completely when I first got serious about cycling last Spring, but started to regret it when I helped my brother move into his new home and found I just didn't have nearly the strength I used to after just 5 or 6 months without strength training.
