I have started up with my Wednesday night lifting again.
The benefits I gained last year were unquestionable. I did not get whole body fatigue on the bike. I could ride 3-8 hours and still feel relatively good. Before I would often get very a very tired and sore lower back, neck, and my triceps would kill on some long downhills.
Nothing fancy yet, just gettin the body used to holding and liting. I Will be putting in squats which will make Thrusday night interesting. My theory is that with the weights being heavier than what I can push on the pedals when I go back to the bike threshold riding will feel easier in the legs. I responded well last year to some serious power training.
I was worried at first about carrying around a few more kilos on mass but after last yrear I will gladly weigh more to have the endurance and power in my whole body.
I'll let you know how it goes when I really get into in the new year.

Have you considered offering a strength class on Wednesday? Your workouts would take longer but way you get paid to train.
