I see you answered your own question there.

But seriously; ride for fun, but at least 3x/week and at least for 2h
continuously 1x/week. For example: Sunday a long ride, Wednesday and
Friday for 1.5h. Nothing too strenuous, preferably ride with one or two
friends (not more or it will inevitably become a training race) who you
know to be a bit slower. I always like to call up one of a few local woman
riders (slash racers) for my recovery rides.
