Answer
As often as you can, as hard as you can, as long as you can.
It depends on what your overall fitness goal is.
If you're just looking to burn calories, then the more you do it, the more calories you burn, the more weight you lose.
If you're looking to replace road riding and build up endurance, then it's probably better to do it as long as you can before you get winded. But personally, I don't think this is really effective, because there is no way I'm going to sit on a spin trainer for 2-3 hours straight.
If you're looking to stress your legs and increase muscle mass, then doing some all out intervals for 40-60 minutes 3-4 times a week should be good. In this case, you should feel some significant soreness the following day afterwards. Otherwise, you're not going to stress your muscles enough to encourage growth.

Any advice on work out routines, websites, cardio vs. fat burning. I mountain bike ride once or twice a week and want to increase my stamina on the weekly rides as well as lose weight and condition my heart. I'm 48 and could lose about 15 pounds. My gym doesn't have spin classes. Thanks!
