Hi! Recently I discovered the precious world of biking and I really like how healthy and useful it is. It’s also very good for muscles, especially for girls so I wonder which plan of rides do you suggest me to do?
Currently I’m making 3 rides a week, each about 1 hour length.

Why do you say it’s especially good for girls?
Anyway. As this is bicycle touring, you’ll probably have people doing long slow rides here. The generic advice for endurance sports though is: train slow but train a lot. You usually want to reach the point where you can still talk/sing almost normally but if you were to go faster, it would become challenging. No faster than that pace. Three rides a week is great, you can do plenty more if you enjoy it and if you have the time.
If you’re not doing the following already: be safe, wear a helmet/high-vis, learn to fix common issues, record your rides (Strava is a common app to use).
Check out the other cycling subs, r/cycling, on the right you’ll have a giant list of other related subs.
Good luck!
Just sit on it and pedal.
Ride.
