Oh, I never add laps when I'm actually riding. That's waaaaay too complicated! I just trace the altitude on the graph once I've got it on my PC and add the markers using the software.

I'm fairly sure that the cadence and speed averages do not include the zeroes or null values (which is what happens when you're not pedalling or moving). But now I'm suddenly suspicious... A good way to test this would be to get one of your graphs where you have a big descent. I'm guessing that most folks are like me - when I'm descending I'm either pedaling at a very high cadence or just not pedaling at all, only two states. I'll set up lap counters on a section of a graph that's about half high-cadence pedaling and half no pedaling. Checking that average should show an entirely high average. I think.
