Yes, I did check to see if there was a brake rubbing on the tire. I learned to do that after I rode 12 miles around one of the hilly lake trails with the front brake rubbing against the tire. I thought I was just tired and uncoordinated that day. I took triple exercise points that day. Now I check everything before we ride and before I put the bike away. It seems when we put the bicycles on the bike rack we sometimes knock the brake a little.

Oh, I didn't even look at my MPH that day.
