Or you can ride for fun and a bit of fitness, as you say. Nothing wrong with that, really, unless you want to expand your skill set.

Try doing some intervals on the flats, or do some hill climbing, or do your own time trial by seeing how fast you can get from point a to point b. Lots of stuff you can easily do yourself.
wow! thanks for opening my eyes.. looks like there's a lot of good info on the training tab of bicycling.com... thanks for the ideas!
