Monday I did some sqauts, leg extensions, and calf raises. Today (tuesday) I'm somewhat sore and rode around 60-70% of my max heartrate 194, riding mostly on the flats. Should hills >600 seconds be incorporated or should i just focus on easy riding in the flats during recovery rides?

If it's going to be a recovery ride you probably want to keep HR below 60% of MHR

Is there a difference between a recovery ride from lifting vs. recovery ride from a hard ride? Personally, I've never found even modest aerobics to help me recover from weightlifting (as measured by my performance the next time w/ the weights). Of course, YMMV, and it may be useful for performing better ON THE BIKE next time. Try it and see if ithelps/hinders your performance in either activity.
