I just completed my 1st endurance ride yesterday (30 miles).  My calf and stomach muscles kept cramping up during the ride and are extremely sore today.  Does anyone have suggestions on how to condition my body for endurance riding?  I don't like to run.  Does weight training strengthen these muscles used during an endurance ride?  Does walking provide any benefit?
