Garmin actually measured 19.5 average...phone app has to be started before getting on the bike and stopped when getting off the bike...thereby eating up time at 0mph which drags the average down.  Very pleased with 19.5 considering I really didn't push it.

Took it pretty easy except for Bradfute...first time I did the climb a couple of months ago, had cramps half way up...had a little bit a helping wind tonite...and felt pretty good all the way to the end...don't think I can much better..maybe 2 to 5 seconds...maybe.  My output ceiling is pretty fixed...I'm good for just so many watts, no matter how ya swing it.  Wind was stiff, but I didn't fight it...just concentrated on exertion and kept the eyes off the speedometer.  That's a helluva mark Dave Neis put on Bradfute...I can't imagine taking another 13 seconds off my time...amazing.

Used my new phone to log the ride this time...noticed that the phone takes a gps point every second...whereas the Garmin 200 takes a point every 4 seconds....that's quite a difference in data.

Was wanting to do another 5 miles, but clouds building in the west nixed that idea...made it into the driveway and the drops started hittin' the pavement!...perfect timing...

Ok...I can do a bit better on Bradfute...I didn't start until after the turn...the segment actually starts before the turn...I was just putzin' along before the turn...I might get 2 or 3 seconds there next time.  Further, I just noticed Bradfute runs on a south east slant...not north east...which means there was just a cross wind yesterday...I didn't have any help from the wind.  'Will be waiting for a NW wind next time!  :-)  That'll give me maybe 5 seconds...ok...now we're gettin' close!
