Good luck!!! As you may have seen, I went through similar changes in jobs lately. I no longer work from home and I no longer work from 6:30-3:30. I never realized how difficult it would be to get adjusted to a new schedule. At least I haven't changed locations.

greatBlitzer (long) 24.52 km 00:52 17.6mph pace
Pushed up the speed of each interval section by 2km/h. That's the easiest way I have to adjust intensity without a HRM or power meter.

goodRide around the roads up Four... 35 km 02:30 8.7mph pace
Ride with Genghiz. Plenty of site-seeing, stops, rests and picture taking during this ride up the hill. Great to have a climb to 614 meters (from 0m, so close to town).

Took a really easy ride up a new road I found in the neighborhood. Really quiet. More monks than motorcycles, good mix.

Nice... should try this out....coincidentally, one of my biking friends also was suggesting a 10 min interval as against the 2/3 min

I looked over the workout drills on that website and decided to try some of them. The one I did was a 10/7.5/5/2.5 with increasing intensity for each one. I think it is good to mix it up, there are benefits to each kind. From what I can gather... longer intervals improve your ability to utilize oxygen, while shorter ones help develop power, speed and ability to tolerate the burn.
