My opinion also.
But down to the gym for a cardio workout twice a week for an hour at a time and a little bit of weights training on the legs- and shoulders.
Ride 4 or 5 times a week and make those rides longer and worthwhile. Hills- interval training and some speed spots. Just don't do hills at speed and intervals for the whole ride.
