Unfortunately instead of just turning off the display I ended the session, but quickly started a new session. Oh well, it still shows 102 miles for the day, but still shows it as two separate rides. I'm not too worried about it, though, because I know I got the century and the total miles are what I'm after.
You have to negotiate a bit of XML, but you can download both GPXs, and copy and paste the second one onto the end of the first one, and reupload it.
Say these were your two files you copied and pasted into the same file:

You would delete everything in red italics, from the </trkseg> in the first file's content to the <trkseg> in the second file. Upload that, and you should have a complete ride.
Of course, make sure you reupload it BEFORE deleting your original rides, and verify it looks right before getting rid of them.
I hold no responsibility for XML editing gone wrong!
