A rule to always follow.....if it's still sore, it's still recovering. Training a muscle again if it's not recovered will set you back, not forward. Let the muscle fully recover before you train it again whether it be biking, weights, running, etc. If you want growth, you need rest
You can get the blood moving thru the muscle to help with recovery - and I'm talkin' 10 min of cardio or some stretching at the most. Just don't "overtrain" by pushing it before it's ready.
Good luck with your goals. I agree that you have some nice muscle development already! Welcome

Active recovery is the next big thing and flushing workouts will promote recovery

I know what active recovery means. My bike ride today was considered "active" recovery. My husband decided to buy a road bike last night, so we went on our first ride together today. I didn't go fast or push myself, we averaged like 14mph.
Men can be the biggest cry babies ever. The entire ride he was complaining about his ass hurting, even with new bike shorts. I just had to keep encouraging him to turn the cranks. Keep on spinning, keep on spinning.
I was excited about having a new riding pal because I loathe all the stray dogs that chase me in the country. When the little Jack Russell Terror dog comes running out on our road, what does my husband do? He growls at it which makes it more aggressive and the little bitch starts chasing my wheels. My husband just watches, chuckling while I scream at the evil little dog. Some hero he is!
So, I had stressful, active recovery bike ride. He did say he gained a ton of respect for me. He could never cycle long distances and then run right afterward.
What is a flushing workout though?

....the active recovery comment was not directed at you - just a comment in general that it IS ok to do some work - even if you are sore.
AR is called flushing in some circles or feeder workouts in others....its allabout high repetition to force blood into the previously worked muscles....its also a GREAT way to improve/increase vascularity.
[email protected] in there..you will figure it all out...you are changing over to something new for you so it will take some time to adapt!!
