Last Week's Cold Rides

I recently installed a new GPS / radio setup on the recumbent.  This GPS is an already-dated Garmin 350, but it works just like the newer Garmins we have in our cars... a color display of the area I'm riding in AND, through an adapter cable, it reports my positions every minute to the internet through the Ham Radio APRS (Automatic Packet Reporting System) network.
Here's a very fuzzy cell photo of the rider's view of this system.
One of the things I noticed was the available data at the end of the ride.
Here's this week's Ride Data:
Overall average speed    Moving Avg         Max Speed
8.7 Mph                                 10.8 mph            20.2 mph
