Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Resting

Hello, I took up road cycling about 5 weeks ago and have been biking almost every day since. I'm hoping to ride in the Little 5 at IU next year so my training right now involves riding about 30 miles a day. I'm hoping to get this up to 40 - 50 miles a day by september but I dont know if i should be taking a lot of days of rest. I bike virtually every day and rest maybe one day a week. Is this way too much riding and not enough resting? will this be detrimental in the long rong, keeping my legs from building necessay muscle?

thanks,

thanks,
When building muscle rest is as important as exercise.
