I'll be in the same boat (looking to increase pace- and envying the retirement aspect- Congratulations). My plan is to head back to a space that's worked for me before, ZWIFT.

Day long- Noah+Ark- inspired rain forced ride indoors..First Zwift ride in months started uninspired, ended feeling hopeful about return to fitness.. Wa-hoooo.

Last week was the first 100 mi week in a very long while. I'll be using that milestone as a springboard to even more distance (per week) and more ft ascended.. To put it plainly: Ride 350 mi 15k ft of climbing..

With torrential downpours being forecast for tomorrow Its a Zwift-ing we will go. Is anyone else planning to be Zwift-ing? Perhaps we meet up for a virtual group ride... Who's in?

28 miles and 997 ft. ascent... is a start....

I'm in for 250 mi. and to sweeten the pot toward strength training on the bike- I'm also in for 10,000 feet of climbing.. ( onwards and upwards
