It is only useless to you if you think so. I find it quite useful indeed as do many, many other folks. Recovery, BS. I am not racing, and I am not training. I'm riding for fitness and checking to see that today's ride was in line with my history. I would rather not have random road events color that judgement. Anytime I have claimed a personal best, however, it has been by dividing distance by total elapsed time such as my solo 50 miles in 2 hours, 27 minutes record. But I don't care about that very much anymore.
