While what Achilles says is true...

it's also true that a body has limits.

What's more, I think they're basically instinctive. Gym rats don't like cardio,
it's a necessary evil

Cyclist don't like exercises, it's a necessary evil.

Bounce back and forth.

You want some sort of periodisation. So in the middle two weeks of a month; let the gym get the most workouts 2nd week and the riding gets the most workouts 3rd week.

One of the cycles in periodising is monthly. So the 4th week you take you solidify your gains (whatever they were). More reps at whatever weight,
more of whatever.

Then on the next week, the first of the month you drop a notch in intensity and add lots of reps or time.
2nd week you maintain that level, but add a little extra. A few pounds on the bar, longer intervals, base miles...
Third week you drop the time (or reps) and add more weight (or intensity).

On second thought, learn how to set up a training schedule, or find someone who can.

What's the story with the diet? You doing any creatine or anything?
