Nice ride!
Like some riders, I do not have a
minimum speed set to shut off my 920XT Garmin. When I come to a red traffic light and continue to ride closed circular loops instead of stopping while waiting for the light to change, the 2mph moving speed at that time factors into lowering the average mph. We usually have a 5 mile warm-up (neutral zone riding
) after which some on the ride then start their computer whereas mine is on from the start again lowering the average.
Thanks for the
