You are too humble... I could not keep up with you.
Have already ridden nearly 500 km this month and almost all of that has been on loaded touring bikes... 100km a day is not that hard for someone in decent shape with a good fitting bike.
If you average 20kmh when you are touring that is considered to be okay and anything over 25kmh is considered excellent... in nice conditions that is 5 hours of saddle time.
Rode a century today and am feeling remarkably good.
