Also don't believe all the speeds people post. There is no meaningful comparison.
This why I wont use the avg readout if it involves a number of extenuating factors. I try to keep the comparisons as duplicate as possible. I know I'm getting faster when riding my hill course with a better time. I dont want avg, I want quicker.
