>>>>>  I have a gps that's pretty accurate MOST of the time (except for the
one time it measured Eitill at 110 mph!!!)

>>Cool! I bet you'd win at pace racing! ;P

Yeah, he was just plain walking that day too.  Just think what he could do
at a flat walk... ;)  Seriously, we were riding in the mountains that day,
on carriage trails that weren't so steep, but altitude does have an effect
on the accuracy of GPS readings I think.   The only really odd thing I
remember from that ride is that at one point he slipped on some loose gravel
going downhill, maybe for 4-5 feet.  Maybe, during a period of about 1/100
of a second, he really was going at a record pace!  Who knows.  Most of the
other GPS readings from those trails were right-on relating to distance
traveled (per the marked trail map) and based on how long we were gone.
I'll never know what caused that one "maximum speed" blip!
