Made a school boy error, I usually turn it off at stops, forgot to today, avg speed went from 16.5 to 12.7. Just completed 83 miles at 13.7. Doh!

Is there any way of correcting it?

The rest of the group were was still showing between 16.5 to 17.

    Does it matter for one ride? Turn auto-pause on in future then it will pause automatically.

    Before someone else says it, it doesn't matter. That or upload it to a service like Strava that shows a moving avg.

    edit: beaten to it :lol:

    Go back and do the ride again but don't stop.

    Yup, it doesn't really matter , just thought I would ask in case there was a simple solution. I'm sure I pressed timer off, but I usually turn it off totally to stop it beeping. Trailflow, I see where you're coming from!

    Cheers

    When I go onto the Garmin dashboard, mine shows average speed, distance ÷ total time, and average moving speed, I always forget to turn mine off at the cafe stop.

    Just change one of the fields on the Garmin by holding down until the menu comes up and change it to average moving speed.

    Changing the display doesn't fix an old ride done without auto-pause turned on, thus the time data will always skew the average speed.
    And the people bowed and prayed, to the neon god they made.

    At least you didn't lose your mileage. I stopped at a café yesterday and I put my Garmin 500 in my pocket after stopping the timer, and the Garmin switched off automatically after a while. When I switched it back on it had lost my first 29 miles, so when I got home I only had 31 miles of a 60 mile ride showing.

    I don't know what went wrong because previously when the Garmin has switched off and I put it back on, it retained the data of that already ridden.

    There is no such field on an Edge 800.

    Assuming it's mph then actually it's a very respectable pace.

    But what is the motivation behind a post like this? What positive intent is there? Or is it just a way of looking down your nose at riders you think are slower than you?

    Sloppy, I wish it was hilly, I would have been proud of 17mph avg, but it was a an intermediates club run onto the Romney Marsh, very flat, windy and lanes full of mud. Bikes looked like they'd been off road by the end. Another group had a tumble on a bend on the mud. I got cramp at 68 miles, agony, and dropped off the back of my group. limped slowly back on my own.
    The good news is STRAVA levelled the avg speed, mine went up to 15.1mph. from 13.3

    Feisty, I didn't take any offence at Sloppy's comments. I have obviously broken a rule by using and assuming mph.

    Thanks everyone for your comments.

    Turn auto pause on, set custom speed to 2mph, then you won't need to worry about it again

    It may be worth checking your brake callipers weren't stuck on, like Froomes?

    17mph average is very good going, unless you're a Pro.

    Download Garmin BaseCamp from here:

    http://www.garmin.com/en-US/shop/downloads/basecamp

    Hook up your Edge 800 and upload the ride. Then open the ride and see the log of the Index Points. Find those Index Points that corresponded with you stuffing tea and doughnuts and delete them. Resave the ride.

    Just to add to this, I have my garmin edge 800 set to auto pause but last week whilst on a café stop the Garmin kept auto resuming by itself even though it was with me on the table? Am I better off just pressing the stop timer button then?

    I can't help with this as I don't have an Edge (yet).

    A phone call to Garmin support may bring results - 0808 238 0000 (freephone) 08.30hrs to 17.30hrs GMT Mon-Fri

    Yes just manually pause it and then resume it when you set off again, it happened to me too, I think sit because the signal is a bit crap indoors. Bacon sandwiches are good though so it's swings and roundabouts :D

    I see you've progressed from your usual snide back-handed comments to straight-out insults.

    Seriously, what motivation do you get from making posts like that? I've called you out on this before but you seem to enjoy being a complete asshole. It really is quite tragic that your self-worth is seemingly tied up in putting other people down.
