Good plan. Remember that you are not in a race or competing with anyone and enjoy your ride at your own pace and in your own way. You have no need to meet the arbitrary standards of speed, efficiency, and cycling correctness promoted on this forum by a few self proclaimed cycling gurus. Set your own goals and objectives, listen to advice (if you wish) from those who share, or at least understand, those goals and you will enjoy safe and pleasant cycling wherever/whenever you ride.
