What!? Then how will you come back tell us how many miles you rode in X time? Surely not guesstimation?
I just got a computer with average speed on it, and was quite disappointed to find out that despite my best efforts, my average speed is only about 10 mph. That must be what you find discouraging. But it is all to easy to either not look at it or just unclip it, then you have it if you want it.
