I still do squats, not heavy, mind you, just about my own body weight on the bar, front and back squats. I find that when I don't do them regularly the DOMS are pretty bad, but when I do them once or twice week the quads don't get so sore. Strangely for me the DOMS don't affect my riding much once I get going. It's the running that is very uncomfortable.
