It's Strava, but with the Stravistix plug-in for Chrome, which is awesome. So many numbers.
Stravistix breaks down the ride speed into statistic quartiles, which I only understand a percentage of. (lol)
So best as I can understand it, it breaks speeds into 25%, 50%, and 75% quartiles; for this most recent effort, they were 13.2mph, 18.1mph, and 23.3mph. This means I spent 25% going 13.2mph or below, 25% going 23.3mph or above, and the remaining 50% between 13.2mph and 23.3mph, which has the average speed falling right in the middle of the 50% quartile at 18.3mph.
I just love numbers, even if I only understand half of them.

OK, been playing with it all morning and I like it!
Reminds me a little of veloviewer, which was really cool until he started charging a monthly subscription. You should check that one out too.

I like seeing median cadence rather than average cadence, that's for sure. And the 75% quartile speed makes me feel more manly too.

I'm starting to get the worst case of cabin fever, ever, as I heal up. I have never wanted to get on a bicycle more than I do right now.

I gotta say, the Strava EREA tool is proving to be more and more interesting. Now I'm picking routes to see how many miles I can fit in the middle. It's tricky.

You would have fit more miles in the area if you had ridden down to Temecula, then over to San Diego and back!

mathematically, maximum area for a fixed perimeter is a circle

Well curse these urban planners for laying out city streets to intersect at 90º. Not a lot in the way of ring roads 'round here.

As soon as I have a solid 4 months without any responsibilities or commitments, and about $10k for food and hotel stays, I'M ALL OVER IT.

Hey now. Most of the roads here at least manage to intersect at 90º angles, and have two directions of traffic. Riverside was laid out by the insane (Market St. runs at like a 30º angle right through the middle of town) and San Diego was built by people in love with the one-way street. Our roads may be crap, but at least the intersections (usually) make sense.

I like SoCal a lot better than New Jersey, when I was in grad school at Rutgers/New Brunswick, the population density dictated most roads followed routes unchanged for hundreds of years, all kinds of weird intersections, curved roads, roads changing name for no apparent reason.
A local pet peeve though: can anyone tell me why, if you go far enough north on Camino Del Norte, the road becomes Camino Del Sur?

I rode Riverside to Oceanside today. My friends Russell and @TrojanHorse were on the ride. Some days you have it, some days you don't. Today I got my ass handed to me.

Small world, I just met Dori last week on a BCI ride.
I would imagine it was tough, looks like your average speed was 19.5! That's cookin' right along, even with the tailwind. My average speed at our turnaround (the McDonalds on Vandegrift) was 17.6. By the time I got home my average was 16.4 - fighting the wind most of the way home, and then the heat as I left the coast to head to Lake Forest. My Garmin registered 109 degrees on Alicia (real air temp was less of course). thankfully we got some high clouds that cut down the sun a bit.
My first hot weather ride of the year, need to acclimate.
