Sharkattack,

I ride 50-60 miles every saturday, and I do one "leg" day per week, usually on Tue to give me enough time to recover. My "leg" day usually consists of front squats, overhead squats and stiff-leg-deadlifts. I definitely dont lift the same weight on these as I do over the winter, but I still feel them for a few days.

I'm not a avid rider like some guys in here, I just try to keep muself in overall decent shape, and I don't really have a goal aside from "try to keep fit" but my anectodal evidence suggests that squats and deads don't adversely impact bike rides.
