Well, there's no question that I lose weight when I get into the swing of things and do a century or century+ every Saturday, so surely I'm burning fat. But I thought that you were earlier making a distinction between "I did a long ride and so I burned some fat" and "I'm fat-adapted, so I'm better-able to do long rides"
And those centuries are commonly well above zone 2, btw.
