    After a long endurance ride, the next day when I ride again I will experience a
    decrease in the heart rate. Is this normal, a good thing, a bad thing?

    This is often a symptom of over-training. Go easy or take a day off after a
    long hard effort.

    Normal. Probably a combination of heart getting more efficient and/or you
    getting slower.
    I did 1000 miles in 10 days and average heart rate fell over the period.

    Normal. I do the California AIDS Ride every year (now called AIDS LifeCycle)
    which covers 585 miles in seven days. After day two, I can't get my heart
    rate up.

    Trying to diagnose your situation is difficult. Heartrate alone is not a
    good indicator, you may be experiencing a decrease in heart rate, what you
    want also know is are you producing less power.

    low heart rate + decreased power = fatigue

    The drop in heart rate descibed is said in medical textbooks to be due to
    muscle glycogen depletion.

    It just means that you are tired. The better shape that you are in,
    the less this will happen.
