Does it work independent of Strava? I remember checking it the first time you mentioned it, but somehow remember it relying on Strava to work. I do have a Strava account but being a general all around grouch and anti-social, had hardly ever uploaded anything.

I like intervals.icu but I don’t think I understand how to use it to its full advantage yet.

I have ridden when it was that cold, but since winter is also our wet season, I spent most of the ride worrying about hitting black ice.

I'm thinking this is part of my problem - assuming it's a problem - that I could push myself harder but don't. I remember running intervals in Track back in high school, but that was back when Ford was President, and I'm trying to remember just how wrecked I should feel.
And I'm a little gun shy because I'm 63 now. Because I've been spending so much time in Z1-4, the way you feel after a Z5 effort was a little...scary. After one particularly hard effort on Zwift, I felt kinda nauseated, heart pounding, etc. - which, really, is how you SHOULD feel after a hard effort!

I believe you can now upload to it directly, but haven’t tried.

Interesting. When I get my indoor trainer I was planning on getting trainer road too.
Only issue I see is A. I’m not training for an event, just trying to be the strongest rider I can be, B. With my job it would be hard to follow the structure programs, and at the end of the day If I only have three days to ride I want to ride.

Been there, done that half way thru a commute 5-6 years ago. Wasn’t a comfortable day in terms of working and riding back home that evening. Not an experience I’d like to repeat.

As as indicated on intervals? Don't forget that fitness is a matter of intensity and time. If you're not doing workouts longer than 1 hour you will never have a workout load more than 100.

Got in 25 real miles. High 20s and sunny. Beautiful day 
I retract my previous ambivalence towards bar-end shifters. On this bike at least, they are so much better than downtube shifters. Maybe I like them more because they're indexed and my previous ones were friction.
I was a bit worried about knee strike but it looks like that won't be an issue.
