I can't speak much to cycling training, but I can to weight training. I second (or third) the suggestion to engage a PT to set up a regimen, esp. if you don't have a knowledge base. Look to improve your legs and core. Maintain or improve your upper body depending on where you already are there. You want your arms to look good in a strappy jersey.

With the days shortening and time changing at the end of Oct., my riding time will be curtailed so I will be spending more time at the gym and will be emphasizing those spots.

It's always helpful to tell your trainer what you want or you will get a rether generic program.
