We're roughly the same age, the same gender, and have very nearly the same resting heart rate ... and your HR profile looks very similar to many of my rides. So I don't think it looks extreme at all.
Here's the link to my motionbased HR data for a 7 1/2 hour, 50 mile MTB race. Mind you, I was PACING myself for an all day ride, and I still averaged 166, with a max HR of 187.
MHR varies significantly by individual, so don't get concerned because you don't think you represent the norm.

I don't crash so much anymore (less blood on the trail), so just call me Stephanie
I'll tell you what I think of bicycling. I think it has done more to emancipate women than any one thing in the world. I rejoice every time I see a woman ride by on a bike. It gives her a feeling of self-reliance and independence the moment she takes her seat; and away she goes, the picture of untrammelled womanhood. ~ Susan B. Anthony
