Being a super newbie I have been trying to read up on everything cycling related. Can anyone recommend a website or book related to training? I'm not really sure what I should be doing in regards to training. Since I got my bike I would say I have just been "riding". Thanks for the help!

My husband and I just did a century. I think I would call it "training" that we did all summer, but oddly enough we didn't have a particular mileage goal other than doing at least 20, 2 or 3 evenings a week and a longish one on the weekends, 40 or so. Sometimes we did a longish one on both weekend days. I think for us, getting in the saddle as often as possible was helpful. Also, seeking out hills on purpose.

Here's a link to one book that really helped give me a lot of good tips about riding and getting ready for a Century--I'm doing my first Century in late October!

Plus, hang out in this forum--lots of good tips and info to pick up!
