Congratulations on your first 30 mile ride!
Trainers are better than nothing but, nothing beats being on your bike. I feel like I have not gotten as good a work out on the trainer as I do when I put in a day on some serious hills. Perhaps some strength training in conjunction with the trainer would help on the hills come next spring.
I plan to do some strength training to help me with my hills this winter; now that finals are over I can get some time in the gym when I am not working
