I find the two very challenging to mix. Some do it successfully, by working out the legs in the winter while riding longer easier rides, then stop in the spring and increase the riding intensity. Either way it will be really bad at the beginning and get somewhat better after you have done the weights for a while.

Thanks for responding. I have given up on the idea of doing leg exercises. I agree that it is difficult to do both and cycling is more important to me. I will continue working upper body but even that is making my cycling more challenging. I went on a 32 mile club ride the day after weight training and I noticed a big drop in my performance. Hopefully, it will get easier over time.
