How to juggle cycling and gymming?

Hello everybody,

I have been hooked onto cycling since about 7 months now. My main aim of getting into cycling is to indulge in Randonneuring

I recently switched over to a hybrid from an MTB since I thought that the hybrid would help me best achieve my goal of participating in a brevet.

Since I did not know whom to turn to for this question, I thought I would best register on this forum where I have routinely lurked and ask here.

I am a regular gym goer. Not the sculpted body types, but just to stay physically fit. Like I mentioned above my sole aim is to participate in a Brevet since I want to check how strong I am mentally and physically. How should I juggle my gym routine with cycling/preparing for a brevet?

Should I altogether give up gymming - this I would do only grudgingly since I have started to like the idea of going to a gym.

Or should gymming and cycling be on an alternate basis?

Or is there any third alternative??

Also is there any scientific way of preparing for a brevet? Or just keep hitting it out for long distances every once in a week?

I would be really grateful for suggestions
