Damnit!! I didn't know I could use my average moving speed... then my earlier posted ride would've been 22.2 mph average speed (much better than the 22.0 mph)

My typical average speed on my commute more like 16-17 mph, this was just that one good day with the right winds, friendly lights, road bike, nice light traffic, feeling strong, not too much in my Chrome bag, ....
