It's a shame that the Garmin clearly burped (for the first time) and powered down at a bump clearly distorting the results.

According to my riding buddy, we averaged 17.7mph

Ha ha ha... well, according to my Garmin on one of my last rides it shows my HR "flat lined" in my graph. Hmm... in the ER a "flat line" is an indication of death. Maybe the Garmin was really right since I felt like I was going to *die* on that particular hill!?!?

My ride today was just inside teaching my Spin class. Fun and tough--we did a "race day". While my roadie steed got a new bottom bracket from her owner's mishap cleaning procedure... needed from rainy w/e ride previously--see flat line comment. But... I really wasn't trying to kill my bike.
