Well, I ride solo almost exclusively (except for a Saturday or Sunday with the wife) and due to an ill-advised 70 consecutive days of riding (2,700 miles and 100k ft^ in that span) I'm still reeling from the after effects. Truth be told, I should probably not put butt-to-seat for at least a week straight, but that's never going to happen. Even under my new self-imposed limits, I put in 100 miles in the pouring rain this month.

Besides, Z2 is soooooo easy now. A whole day of 230-240w average? Cake. Going faster takes a disproportionate amount of increased effort for the net result. I mean, 20% more power is good for about 2.5mph. I have become a diminishing return.
