The guys that I ride with often ask me for ride statistics. For instance they often have no idea how fast they are going... a narrow tree-lined singletrack always seems faster than it is, whereas a straight wide open trail seems slower.

On the wide-open stretch at Blue mountain some of the DM guys figured they were going 50-60km/h, but I knew that I was clocking in the mid-70s, and those guys were going a LOT faster than me.

I find it odd that people wouldn't want to quantify their rides, at least as an option.
