Mine is consistently around 60-70% distance and nothing to do with energy levels. Doesn't matter if it's a 100km, 200km, 300km or 400km ride. Longer rides (600km/1000km/1200km/1400km) are multi-day rides and my mental state ebbs and flows differently on those. Riding in the early hours (3-5am) is the usual, unsurprising, low point but the sun coming up usually fixes it. There can also be a low around sunset, it depends on how much riding I've got before I know I can have a nap.
The dawn during a 24hr sucks. I never get the "ooh sunrise" feel good shit everyone else seems to report. It's always "oh fuck, I still have 8 hours to go".
I did say "may".
