agreed. you can see it's not very accurate from the altitude trace - the nordschleife has a difference of about 300m from highest to lowest point but only shows as about 100m on your data. but the time will be near enough even if the speed isn't, so that is a very quick time that you should rightly be proud of

look at mine from a bike trackday at snetterton, it's rubbish (but then it was in the inside pocket of my leathers). would be much better with an external bluetooth gps
