Too high?

Okay, if you are thinking about the title and assuming I am implying that I got a little 'too high' last night, stop thinking that, and never think that about me again. (Should I be offended that you just thought of that? I might be.)

My average heart rate on today's ride was 173, with my max being 188. Is that too high? Its not like I was out of breath, I was totally conversational and feeling great. But shouldn't my heart rate be about 150-160 for an easy ride? According to my polar I burned 1113 calories in 1 hour and 40 minutes. I guess that's what happens when your average heart rate is 173.
