There has to be another explaination here because something just isn't adding up?
Are you counting time spent stopped to wait for traffic signals, etc in the total time?
Try using
www.mapmyrun.com and enter your route - this site is awesome.
Wow. That site is awesome. Thanks.
I'm bascially riding a 2.3 mile loop. The elevation difference is 242ft. The low point is at the beginning and the high point is around the middle. Is that bad as far as hills go?
I don't spend more than a few seconds stopped during the ride.
