Well, I noticed that a few had the same question and since the original "building a base" thread seems to be lacking in the traffic I thought I'd post it here and see if anyone could answer.

During this part of the year I am building a base for next year. If I am getting 8 hours of cycling a week am I better off doing 2 rides of 4 hours, or 4 rides of 2 hours each? Or is 8 hours, 8 hours no matter how you get there?

Thanks.
