I care about my on the bike time. If I am not on the bike, why would I count that time as part of my ride?
A ride to get some food would result in an average speed that is half of what the riding actually was.

Your comment that off the bike rest makes you stronger after the break may be correct, but there is obviously a point at which it is not at all accurate. If I wait 2 hours, I won't ride faster than if I waited 20min. Meanwhile, that 2 hours of running clock is affecting the avg speed.


Good luck with that though.
