I started with the electronic version, but found it hard to read the training plan tables on my e-reader. Sooo, ended up buying a hard copy of the book too.

So how many days a week to you ride/train/or cross train with this plan?
Just curious. My problem is fitting in both biking and running

You ride 6 days a week. Some days shorter then others.

Well I have been doing all the rides. Watching what I eat and my weight went up 8 lbs! As I really had not been riding much and my legs are sooooo sore. I am hoping this is just water weight from the increased work outs.

Maybe it was muscle!
The weight isn't important, whether it's water weight or muscle. Even if it was increased fat (unlikely), your heart & lungs are getting stronger from the exercise and that's more important.2009 Trek 7.2FX WSD, brooks Champion Flyer S, commuter bike

Not participating, but cheering you all on! Don't get discouraged. It seems that whenever I have tried to lose weight in a healthy way, the scale doesn't seem to move for the longest time, but then, eventually, if you keep on doing the right thing (and really are careful about not underestimating calories and overestimating exercise), the weight starts coming off. I know you want to see results, but realize that you are in this for the long haul. Unless the program calls for you to weigh yourself at certain intervals, I would avoid weighing for a while. As far as the weight gain, you are probably right about your body holding on to fluids. Watch your salt intake and drink a lot of water. Good luck! I know it isn't easy.

Rubylvr, I like the idea of a piece of riding gear as a reward every 5 lbs! Think I'll adopt that idea, with a new pair of bike shoes and clipless pedals being my first two goals.
I'm down 1.6 lbs for the week, although that could be normal fluctuation. The hardest part of Selene's plan for me is doing the strengthening exercises after riding, but I know that they are probably a key step.
