Thanks for this helpful advice. Since I am just starting out, how does this look as a plan:

1 tempo ride
1 LSD
1 inteval
1 recovery
3 days off the bike to start, weights on 2 of those days

Since I did two rides that are probably more or less tempo so far this week, perhaps tomorrow should be a LSD and the next day can be a recovery ride. Once I've been at this a bit longer, hopefully some kind of pattern will fall into place.
