As was noted during the ride, the pace we both consider "reasonable" is faster than we can actually sustain. So on an actual long ride part of the challenge is pacing myself so that I'm not completely shot after the first 20 miles.
I also like to race down hills, so that I have momentum that can carry me up the far side. The first down/up hill after we turned off the bike path is a place I remember doing that in the past, then having to stop at the top of the hill to let people catch up.
