Cardio work

I'm new to road cycling and was needing some suggestions on getting my
cardio health up to speed for biking. I rode 30 miles this past
weekend with my wife and it almost killed me. I'm in good physical
shape, but rarely do any cardio. I've had one person say do intervals
on my treadmill, and others say just ride a few times a week.
Unfortunately, I can only ride on the weekends. Thanks in advance for
any suggestions.

Treadmills suck. So does ANY cardio device that doesn't move. But that's
just my opinion.

Indoor cycling classes add enough distraction, atmosphere and
occasionally structure to make riding a bike indoors tolerable. I
haven't heard of an indoor treadmill class though.

If you have access to a gym, take a couple spinning classes every week.
They can be very good, and very good for you. Other cardio classes also
work. There are kickbox classes of various flavors that a guy can
actually feel comfortable doing.
