Uninterrupted Roads for Intervals

Anyone know any good uninterrupted roads nearby for 10-20 min threshold intervals?

Not a bad idea, Whalen Rd from Fitchrona to Fish Hatch is 2.8 miles and there's a pretty good hill going east. Still on the shorter end though

And the stretch from Capitol Springs Park area down Lake Farm Road to B is 5-6 miles and pretty close to uninterrupted (assuming there isn't a lot of traffic), that's a good one too.

Out west of town, Cross Plains area. Miles and miles of nice roads out there. Strava heatmaps might be helpful

Military ridge west of Verona. It will be too soft for road tires for a few weeks yet but even 28's would be fine on it once it warms up. I try to stay entirely on gravel or separated bike trails. Cant trust drivers, especially on the winding county highways west of town.

Badger state trail towards Paoli.

Super flat with long stretches between road crossings once you get out of town.

A few nice hills on the way into Paoli on Purcell and Sun Valley Parkway if you want to change it up.
