I need to take it easier.
The best rule of thumb that I've read about Zone 2 is that it's a conversational pace. It sounds like you are riding alone, but keep this in mind, especially when you are climbing the hills on your route. If necessary, shift into a lower gear and just spin your way to the top.
Best of luck!
