Thanks everyone! I've been lurking on the forum for awhile and found lots of great info. If it weren't for all the encouraging, friendly posts here, I wouldn't even have had the nerve to consider starting this process.

Great general fitness book
I too would say that this forum is an invaluable resource as far as cycling advice goes. A good book about over all fitness is Fit AND Fat The 8-Week Heart Zones Program by Sally Edwards. Might be out of print, but used copies can be obtained through Amazon. It provides means for measuring your baseline fitness level and strategies for the most efficient and meaningful improvement of your fitness level. It also exposes the arbitrary nature of some firmly held beliefs about fitness--especially by the healthcare industry. Of course, heart zones training means using a heart rate monitor, but that is a tool that is well worth the investment...
