I want to approach it more scientifically as there has been no real structure or intent to my riding other than don't go hard all the time. I am going to do a FTP test and then will likely use a training program that incorporates the FTP heart rate zones. That is as much as I can articulate right now.
Then that would be the next step in achieving your goal. You need to have a clear and present PLAN on exactly how to get from Point A to Point B. Until you achieve that, your plan is incomplete and a lot less likely to succeed.
