When I get down to those last few pounds, I feel that it's longer rides that gets them off more reliably. On shorter rides, I feel like I just eat back all my Calories even if the sum of those short rides is more mileage per week.
Longer being 50 or more miles. However I don't race or compete, so YMMV.
