Here's how'd I'd play it:
Mon: recovery gym workout focusing on hip stability/glute work
Tu: Plyos (what are they I may ask?)
Wed: ride
Thu: Same as Monday + ride
Fri: off
Sat/Sun as planned with glute bridging post ride

What do you think?

Plyo = plyometrics = jumping on things, like my coffee table. I usually do core workouts on top of these.

Similar to box jumps? Are there single power exercises in there as well?

Ive found that single leg plyo work has more carry over to riding than using two legs. The reason being that you use one leg to generate force/power in the bike. So, single leg squat jumps, split jumps that kind of thing.

They're talking about high ones. I do very low height repeatedly, including one legs as well.

Very nice, "To The Max" is a great endurance athlete strength book. I'd recommend it quite a bit.
