Ride lots. Every day! Ok, ok, take one day a week off, you deserve it. But really put an effort into getting your ride in.

What kind of rides? At least 3 of your 6 days should be intensity. Intervals, hill reps, or riding a really fast club ride. One day should be an endurance day when you just got out there and log the miles but don't worry too much about speed. The other 2 days should be active recovery days where you get out to ride for an hour or two EASY.

Follow this program, and you WILL get faster if that is what you really want. But this training program is hard work. It isn't always fun, it is hurts, and you really have to make a commitment to it to see the benefits. Since you are a recreational rider, I wouldn't necessarily recommend this schedule unless you are sure that you are totally committed to getting faster.
