some times i feel like its a man thing.
every long distance trip i take in a car i try to make 'good time' always rushing annoyed if the departure is delayed. i feel i also carry this across into my bike trips.
one way which did slow me down was joining up and riding for a couple weeks with a vespa.  that thing was slow, but i gave me a ton of time to just chill and take in the surroundings.
i think for my next trip i will just set shorter day mileage goals. if i only have to do 200 miles in the whole day i will take my time. sometimes its handy when you are riding as a group because someone will want to stop fairly regularly.
