Gym time is so important for riding. I am not a gym rat, but I spent a solid year doing an hour of free weights 3-4x week. Mostly the big moves (squat bench deadlift) with smaller stuff in between. Made a HUGE difference in how I felt and how I rode.
I have been slacking for a while and really need to get back to it. I have lost a lot of flexibility, my posture is starting to suck again and I don't have the same control/power on the bike. With all of the injuries I have racked up, combined with getting older, it is crucial to add some weight training and stretching.
