Trainer vs Outside

So, it looks like I am going to have to spend some time indoors to fit both mine and wife's training schedules and a newborn And to keep some household peace, of course.

My regular training weekday rides are normally Tue and Thu, 25-30 miles, ~1000' and average about 19mph. What would be equivalent on a trainer? I have sufferfest videos and have been doing about 18 miles during the hour (Hunter, Angels).

I don't think I could switch to other week days since I am also going to be doing marathon training so the long runs will be on Sundays, after the long rides on Saturday. That makes Monday my rest days and while Wed could work, I am not sure if there's a group ride or not. Friday is a possibility, but again, do I want to ride Fri evening before long ride on Sat?

So, it seems like the trainer is a good idea. While I prefer outside, I don't mind the trainer rides with Sufferfest/TrainerRoad. Just trying to see what would be comparable.

Thanks
