    specific question about cardio...

    some stats/info:

    I'm pretty much a noob to all of this....better late than never!

    54 year old male
    5'-9"
    172 lbs.
    BF% +/- 13%
    3 days weight training
    3 days road bike/spinning bike/abs
    1 day rest
    Diet is clean/low carb/800 day caloric deficit
    All natural...have gear but its staying on the shelf
    241 lbs> 2 years P90x> 2 months weight training + bike = 172 lbs!

    Body fat is getting low and I'm ready to attempt to add some muscle. I will be changing to a caloric surplus and more carbs over the next few weeks.

    My question is about my road bike and spinning bike activity. I've been consumed with getting BF% very low, and currently cycle 100+ miles per week. Some of the climbs are hardcore with huge heart and leg pumps. Between the spinning bike and road bike total time is about 5-6 hours per week.

    I would like to put on about 20-25 lbs of muscle over the next year, keeping my BF% as low as possible.

    As I ramp up the calories/carbs do I need to scale back the cycling?

    Thanks
    DZ
