Is this over training??

So I am setting up my winter program and I am worried it might be too much.
First off I want to say improving my cycling is my priority, however I would really like to keep (as much as possible) my over all strength and power at the same time.

I will be picking up a Kurt kinetic road machine in a couple of weeks and I have a bunch of spinervals dvds, CTS dvd's and am planning on getting the sufferfest collection.

What I am thinking of is 3 days a week weight training. say Mon, Wed and Fri. Mon and Wed will be circuit upper body + core. Friday will be leg day. will consist something along the lines of squats, lunges, hamstring curls and straight leg deadlift.

For cycling I will like to do 4 days, 3 days real all out, and the 4th light recovery probably after leg day( is this a good idea???)

My questions are
- should i not do a leg day and rather concentrate on the bike?
-what would be the best days to place my cycling?
-Can I weight train and cycle 7 days a week or do I need 1 or 2 rest days?

anything else I might be missing?

Thank you for any help.
