Anyone disagree?
I do.
Zone 2 for 2 hours is an easy ride for me. I would barely breaking a sweat or even breathing hard.
A long distance ride more than 100 miles could also be easy if the elevation is low.
I just did a 19 mile mountain bike race over the weekend. Average I was in zone 4 for the 2 hours it took me to complete the race.
