When I rode a brevet series of 200/300/400/600 km, I rode them at roughly the same effort and did not ride slower as they got longer. My 400 was the fastest for moving average but that's because my fitness was still improving and the weather was the best. The way you sustain energy in these rides is to eat and drink!
