NEED TO FIND A TRAINING SCHEDULE

I have been told to train effectively that you should every night spin on a bike trainer for 15 to 20 miles to keep loose regardless if you ride or not outside. Take only one day off a week. So this is what I have been doing for the past week. Riding and spinning on my bike trainer. I went on the 3 gap ride today that I destroyed the first time. Well that did not happen today. I was totally spent by the time I got to the simple last gap (which it really is simple). I will say the wind was 11mph in my face all the time and really quit fighting it. I don't know if the wind added to my fatigue, but don't want to use excuses. I do know that it did not bother another biker who on wolf gap, the steep gap passed me like I was standing still. That did not bode well with me, for I have never been passed up a hill, or mountain before like this guy did. It was unbelievable. It may have shot my confidence too. No kidding when I say this, it was as though I was going up hill and he was going down hill. There was that much difference in our speed. He had to be a professional. He looked as though he was going as fast as car. This is no joke. I have never seen anyone climb like this guy did. Well I did not get to see much of him actually. It was embarrassing and put me in my place of, I am not ready to do any of these rides we are planning.

I don't think the owner of this particular store knows what he is talking about spinning every day and or riding every day. Of course I am not riding every day, but I am not spinning every day either (stupid). He even said you should spin on the trainer after a hard ride the same night (Don't see that happening tonight). I think I have done too much in a week for I am trying to get caught up with you guys for the lost time. I will not get caught up with you guys but need to find some type of regimate to be some what in shape for the summer. You obviously can't force getting in shape so I am going to have to find another system for this system does not work. I am worn the %*^%* out. I am going back to spinning on the trainer at night once or twice and ride on the road twice a week. Maybe I should take up runinng like the rest of you. Not sure how you swim,run,bike, and lift weights in the same week. Go iron men go!!! Any suggestions let me know.
