It would be nice to have just one workout that is say 30 minutes long at roughly 60% FTP and infinitely extendable. Perfect for the occasions when we want to just turn the pedals for however long we want, but want to do it in ERG mode and adjust the intensity on the fly. Sometimes when I want to d…

Use workout creator to just create a 3 hour workout at 60% and then ride until you don’t want to ride any more? Of course that may not be a good idea if you’re an obsessive task completer and end up feeling compelled to do the full 3 hours every time you start it!
