So I've been riding my mtn bike for a while now, but I'll be getting a road bike in the next few weeks (need to do some more research).
My goal is to make cycling my only leg workout. As it is, I don't work my legs out much so this will be a step up, not down.
My question is this: Is doing one 50-60 mile ride each weekend enough to get results in my legs (i.e. size increase in calves, quads, hamstrings)? It'll be in the Texas hill country, so lots of ups and downs.
Will I need to incorporate more frequent rides to see results? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
(by the way, I'm new to RJ and already meeting some great people)
