Hi CrazyCarl

You are completely right. When I mentioned in my trip report that I kept average speeds at the 110 km/h mark, I meant by that, whenever possible (at double lane stretches of road, obeying all the speed signs). Along some stretches of road I was able to maintain speeds of 80 km/h, or even less when indicated to do so.

But, overall, what I would like to point is that I am naturally endowed (don't ask me why) to achieve very good constant average speeds during my trips.

In my view this is what enables me to ride long distances in a day. But, by all means, safety must prevail always.
