I feel better now!

Thanks Queen! I am oh so fortunate enough to live 3 blocks from Prospect Park in Brooklyn. It's just like Central Park except 1/3 smaller. 600 acres of park land with a wide, well-paved road that makes a 3.5 mile loop. It is closed to cars at all times except for 2 hours in the morning and 2 hours in the evening on weekdays (rush hour). I am so lucky to be near this park. If not, I probably wouldn't have even gotten into cycling. There is variety in the loop too with one decent hill. Weekday afternoons there are the absolute best since you don't have to dodge kids, and since I work from home I get to go almost every day. Today I did 3 laps. Saturday I did 4. The most I've done in the park is 7 (25 miles), but I've ridden as much as 50 miles in a day elsewhere.

Edit:
Here's my route shown with just one lap of the park:
