The GPS looks ok to me.
Looking at the huge variation in the data you have taken and the mathematical equations used that still give you a varience of over 30kph, I would be more than happy to accept the GPS data as close enough!
Afte rall... we don't want to find out we are going to slowly!
Your right Gazz there is a certain sence of dissapointment when you find out that your not going as fast as you hoped you might be. Let me tell you I don't like it one bit !!!
The trouble is that because of the various class rules, you can only change certain things to make a difference and those differences are only small, being only small differences it's hard to measure them unless you have an accurate method of measurement.
If you can go just a small amount faster, then if everything else is equal you will allways win. So it is a worthwhile trade off, if your after the last little tiny bit of performance to demoralised by the bare and naked truths occasionally.
