Re: [DR] Re: [RC] [AERC-Members] Multiday/Single day ride speedanalysis - Truman PrevattThe question that was address is are the multidays ridden at a slower speed than the single days in the same regions. The data was based on all riders entering both single day rides and multiday rides. These two categories were then analyzed. The chart was put in there for illustrative purposes so - no conclusion was based on it. The fact that here were more pioneer rides than one would expect was an afterthought and not critical one way or the other for the analysis.In reality there are many of the same riders in the multiday rides as in the single day rides and many of the same riders in many different single day rides. The riders are the constant population that is used to test the hypothesis. Any analysis of this type of data is useful for trying to understand in a more rigorous way that our gut feel facts about the underlying population. The question this raises is why do the multiday riders swear they are going slower when they aren't. Maybe they are going faster they are going faster than they think - that is what the clock says.
