Sweet! So does this mean i'm faster than Ryanf?
A few weeks ago he posted pics of his computer, what was it 30 miles @ 19.1mph? And then he came out saying that he stopped his computer a few times when he had to stop.
26.5 miles
1:22:06
19.3
And i don't stop the computer
I told him i'd have his mark by the end of the month, when he gets back he better be ready to have a hammer droped on his toosh
Sorry, the endorphins are still flowing

Nope, average speed means nothing.

Ok, according to his photos:
21.04mi @ 19.5
39mi @ 21.2
44.98mi @ 20.2
40.0 @ 18.3
But ride for yourself, if you want to race someone, race the guy on your wheel, not a guy across the country.

To an extent at least, i still believe if you compare it to yourself on the same/similar route it is telling, this was certainly my fastest ride of the season across this terrain and of this length. Which is sad, as its pretty slow.

But how many inches around are you guads? That is at least as important as average speed.

Comparing two average speeds is nearly useless unless they are riding the same course, on generally the same day or weather conditions. I'm sure I could match just about any Cat2 or higher cyclist's average speed over 5mi distance. Put them on a HC climb in the alps in December, and put me on a decent downhill straight away with a 20mph tail wind. Yeah, if you compare Avg Speed and Distance alone - I'd look fast compared to them.

As a super duper TT guy, you'd want to go for an hour at, say, 30mph. As a P/1/2 crit racer, you might race for an hour with an average speed of, say, 30mph. The two are NOT the same thing.
