My century on Sunday was 98.2 miles...eff it, it's still a century in my book. I counted total time and guessed at moving time as my computer reset when I turned the bike over to change a flat.

If I say I took 5 hours for a century, I mean I started and then 5 hours later, I was done. This is hypothetical, you understand, for me, the 5 hour century is like a 4 minute mile, it's something to be talked about rather than achieved.

If I say I averaged 20 mph for a century, I mean when I got done, my computer/speedometer showed a 20 mph rolling average, even though I might have taken a 2 hour break and eaten lunch at the midpoint.

Keep track of both. Why not? When you're fit and experienced with long rides, you may find that stopping to rest will increase your moving time rather than decrease it because rather than being beneficial, it takes some time to get your legs up to speed and working efficiently again after a prolonged stop. (You may have noticed racers warming up rather than resting right before a race.) For that reason I keep my pit stops as short as possible, only long enough to refill bottles and pick up something to take along to eat, (and pee as needed). If I had a support vehicle to pass me filled bottles and food, I guess I wouldn't stop, except perhaps to pee.

Come to beautiful Fauquier County Virginia this Saturday and you can have pumpkin pie, pumpkin soup, roasted pumpkin seeds, pumpkin bread, pumpkin cookies, pumpkin cupcakes, pumpkin candy, pumpkin fudge, pumpkin brownies and .... pumpkin ale at the ride after the ride.
