There are advantages to going slower; all those things you sped by without noticing before are now there to be gawked at. As Monty Python said: "Always look at the bright side of life." 😎 With the 30+ lb tank I ride, going fast has never been an option for me. Just doing 40 miles yesterday took me 4 and a half hours, but it was a fun 4.5 hours, with many white-tailed deer, squirrels, rabbits, chipmunks, one groundhog, flowers (where one would least expect them), horseshoe lake, and several interesting characters out on the trail (I know, I'm one of 'em!)
