Two hours is a decent length ride — in Essex you can cover 45 miles in that time on a decent road bike; in Devon or something where it's really lumpy with lots of corners and steep hills, you'll be lucky to cover 35 miles in 2hrs.<br />Use a heart rate monitor and do some basic intervals. 2x20mins within a 2-3hr ride is a pretty popular session. I tend to do steady rides averaging at about 65-70% of mhr, and do long intervals like that at 85% or so.<br />Just make sure you're sitting at a decent height too. Sitting too low in the saddle makes your knees hurt after a while.Andy Watermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06289292076607217723noreply@blogger.com
