Great stuff, thanks gents, and I always appreciate the knowledge and encouragement.
Maybe part of it is this heat this summer as far as limiting my time. I’m not a very early riser so banging it out for a couple+ hours once the sun is up a bit plus the humidity is too brutal for me.
The other thing is that I live in Brooklyn, I’m near an excellent 3 mile loop but I’m not that comfortable riding in city traffic and there aren’t any nice “country” or rural stretches to do enjoyable, longer rides on. Loop sets up nice for training as far as a mix of hills and flats but it can get boring after 6-7 laps.
caloso-very much appreciate your feedback. That 2x20 looks like really good.
jpescarore-nice recommendation, thank you
