And that's not what I meant ... I meant that if you wanted to lose weight, go for at least a 1-hour ride at the fastest pace you can maintain for a long period of time. If that means you end up doing 22 miles ... great! You're on your way to your century. Do that for 3 or 4 days a week
Then a couple times a week, in addition to the above, get out there for at least a 90 minute ride, and gradually start increasing the time (and distance) of at least one of those rides.
