turbo work does help lots, going to a local Spin class will ease the boredom factor- some aspects not what you need but overall a good thing. Suggest see if local clubs do turbo sessions.
Basic fitness is the building block, ride ride your bike, swim, use weights, run, step aerobics etc- you have all winter to build up. Learn to sprint for sign posts when out on the road!
If you can get over the water there's Newport Velodrome to go and play at, or Manchester may be easier, if really crackers go to Calshot. All do bike hire, so no need to lug a bike over unless fussy
