They each will hinder the effectiveness of the other, so it's more effective (and this is basically periodizing in what amounts to a dual-sport model) to give yourself a month or two to focus on weights, do it hard, then translate the gains into cycling. Weights do a couple things for you: build absolute strength, increase muscle recruitment, correct weaknesses in peripheral muscles, assist in gluteal recruitment (a chronic issue with cyclists, who are basically sitting on their glutes and deactivating them), and so on. Give yourself a couple months to focus on cycling and peak for a couple events, then go back and give yourself two or three months on weights, and repeat the cycle.

I've been doing weights for 2 weeks now. Deadlifts, single leg press, Glute Ham bridges, Glute Ham raises, Kettlebell swings, a few pistol squats (can only manage 4 each side) and single leg deadlift with kettlebell. I was going to continue this for another 2- 3 weeks then transition to some cycling training. What would people recommend to help that transition? Start with endurance rides, tempo and then hard intervals? Big gear grinds so it simulates the slow movement of the single leg press? Or huge amounts of 20-30 sprints?
I'm continuing to commute to work and keeping it fairly relaxed.
