It really is just average speed in disguise.

Until I came across this thread, I really had no idea that there is a contingent of cyclists who not only have strict rules about how to time untimed recreational events, but that they also take
those rules Very Seriously. Not that I'm surprised, by the way. After all, this is a "sport" in which people obsess over the minutiae of hand waving protocols. Sometimes I have to wonder
whether Larry David has become a cyclist and is generating sock puppets on the 41 at an alarming rate.
