Great bike choice; the OCR1 is a sweet ride. Personally, I don't weight train. I read lots of stuff that basically said to be a 'strong' rider once you can turn the pedals you really don't need lots of muscular strength. You need sustainable aerobic power.

However, lots of people do lift & ride and if that's what works more power to you. I would try and alternate workouts to keep from killing your legs though. A lower body workout shall either be hard lifting or a hard ride, but not both back to back. If you wish to do both, go easier. No sense in overtraining yourself simply to switch it up some.
