Fair enough. Maybe I'm just too competitive for my own good. But to be honest, it takes up a lot of time, and I'd like to get that sort of distance done in less time :D
Well, what kind of bikes are the people you're comparing yourself to riding? Because a cross-country hardtail - while versatile - is still fundamentally a mountain bike, and it’s never going to reach the same average speeds as a fixie or a gravel bike, for example.
Probably road bikes, I don't see many people doing fast or long distance around me on MTBs
