Answer 1

Get in the weight room and do some squats.  Another good lift would be be lunges.  Call Hans and Franz cause they will pump you up!

Answer 2

Start by building a base of aerobic endurance. Take lots of long, low-moderate rides. Do this for a couple of months before trying to build your strength. I followed this plan and got very good results. You need a good aerobic base to be able to generate power for minutes, and then hours, at a time.
