Try Some Fartlek

That's a Swedish term meaning "speedplay" and it's a fun way to increase the intensity of your ride. Simply go faster for about two minutes whenever the mood strikes you--jam up a hill, shift to a bigger gear and crank hard with a tailwind, or try to catch a rider up ahead. Keep it loose and unstructured.
