On a real ride, you have variables like wind, topography, & traffic to deal with while you’re trying to do an effort. Setting up a bike on a trainer could work, but I’ve had my tires wear very fast doing this and it’s not as stable as a spinner. One of my ongoing goals is to become a more proficient cyclist, so now that I have a spin bike, I’m going to use that as the basis for my conditioning. I did a 30 minute aerobic interval workout yesterday, and it worked great. It kept my heart pumping, but didn’t offset my legs as much as a sprint workout does. I’m going to try doing spin intervals 3 times a week on non-lifting days (Tue/Thur/Sat) rotating between 3 different workouts (see here).

Sounds like the same ride I did in 2010 (and am planning to do again this year). If you haven't ridden before, it is important to be able to sustain your registered pace over the distance. I ride in Atlanta ordinarily and found the two significant climbs on this ride to be manageable...the second was indeed a beast, but nothing compared to North Ga mountains.

The classes include all abilities, fitness enthusiast trying to lose some weight, the novice cyclist, the serious cyclist, and those serious competitors in cycling and triathlons. One of the fitness centers has asked me to put together a winter cycle training program to be taught to serious cyclists in a spin format. Your E-Book on winter training programs - Can it and is it used for spin classes? Are there spin classes using your format. Can you give me names/locations so I can inquire.
