data

[totient]

It won't surprise anyone that I time (most of) my rides to work, nor that I keep them in a Google Spreadsheet. And I've posted here about times and goals. Now that I've been doing this for a month or so I have enough data to show a trend, and a couple of close approaches to the goal I've set. So I thought I'd share ...

What's the distance to your work, anyway?

Google Pedometer says it's 16.134 miles.

OK, so not as long as I imagined, but that give me an idea of how much I slowed you down.

Once a week or so I bring a backpack, and that slows me down nearly as much; perhaps the the thing to do is ride together then? The next time I'll be doing that is next Tuesday.

Hmm...
::looks at backpack/ballast that's come along every time::
Whoa, it hadn't occurred to me that it could make a difference.

Unfortunately I won't be able to go to work on Tuesdays.
But I'm wondering if doing the same with my stuff and ditching the daily backpack might help me keep up on another day (M, W, Th).
