    well, yes and no. interval training is really great for blasting away fat, it seems (in my personal experience as well as more scientific studies)...but going for 2hr rides you are going to burn lots of calories so that is also going to help you lose weight. If you really want to reduce your body fat I would continue with the interval workouts at least 2x a week supplemented by longer rides. You can definitely duplicate intervals outside if you have a hilly route nearby. I would suggest this first if losing fat is your primary goal (IE you are not training for some cross country trek later this summer).
