Your HR seems very similar to mine. I wouldn't worry about it too much, however I have noticed that I do much better on shorter rides than longer rides. I have considered trying to "reset" my body by riding slower and trying to acclimate my body to a lower average HR. Either way, if you can hold a fast pace for a long time at your HR, I wouldn't worry about it too much.
