The most obvious thing you can fit into a 30 minute ride is some interval training.

Realistically though I'd just try and do a few laps of FTD at the weekends about 3 in a row should be about the same as Dalby or Skyline. I was in a similar boat, doing laps of FTD at weekends (usually 2), I went up to Dalby last weekend and managed a full lap (23 miles) without breaks fairly easily at a respectable pace. I think the most laps of FTD I've done in a weekend was about 5 a few weeks ago (2 on sat, 3 on sunday), more hours in the saddle should build up your stamina more than anything you can do in a 30 minute session.
I do the odd 1.5 hour ride after work as well through the week, every second or third night. Occationally with a bit of swimming if the weather is miserable.0
