I've been an occasional recreational rider for years but this year I signed up for my first race. I have no idea how to train for it. I've been doing some spinning at the gym, strength training and a bit of running.
Any tips, good web sites/training programs would be appreciated!
 
Would it be worth converting my mountain bike to a road bike? I currently have a specialized rockhopper with all the standard components. Its a mountain bike through and through. I am somewhat new to the biking world and I know it is possible to convert it to a road bike but how would one go about it? and with all that in mind, would it not be worth it and should i just save up for a road bike?
