If you have to or want to do both on the same day I'd go with weight first. After some cardio I wouldn't be in much of a mood to lift heavy.

yup if your doing them back to back, def do the weights first.
If you can separate them many people do cardio in the am, and then hit up the weights in the evening.

This is what I do
Warm up on the bike (5-10 min.)
Weights
Cardio (Same day or the next day.)
Steam Room/Hot Tub
Anything is possible....when you have a goal!!
Everyone had to start somewhere...This is where I'm starting!!

I wouldnt be doing a 2hr session!
What I do is cardio at about lunch time and then weights in the pm juts before dinner, try and spread the cardio and the weights out as much as possible. I would love to be able to do cardio first thing in the morning and weights at night, but ah well this will have to do.
If you are still going to be doing your 2 hr session I would be doing weights first and eating something and then doing some cardio.
Cheers
