I personally think the opposite, in that more undulating terrain can be beneficial to quicker average speeds. Not taking anything away from you Angelfishsolo at all, this aint an attack. If you check my thread in the touring section you'll see that i'm new to this game and haven't ridden more than 30 mile in one go yet.
This might be to do with me, i'm not a strong rider, i'm small and slight, so I don't have great power to keep up a high average flat speed. I do however descend pretty quickly, despite nearly crapping myself everytime when my crappy brakes send my back tyre psycho! So downhill I don't have a problem getting my average speed back up, and over my flat speeds which are pretty poor. So much that I think I would average a few mph slower on completely flat terrain.
Like many have said though everyone is different and have different strengths and weaknesses!
