Moving Average Speed

Please add a "Moving Avg. Speed" stat. Garmin Connect has this. My rides have numerous road crossings and I usually take a 10 minute break at the halfway point of 60+ mile rides. Moving average speed is an excellent metric to compare my rides.

What the heck is "Mont Blanc"?

Hey there @donpwinston thanks for sharing your idea. It's unclear where you envision the average moving speed to appear -- Could you clarify what you mean by this? Are you saying to display this information during the activity itself (on the recording screen), or as a statistic in the activity details page after your ride (Currently, the Average Speed shown in the Activity Overview is calculated by taking the Activity Distance and dividing it by the Moving Time)? Or somewhere in your profile factoring in all of your rides, or something else?

In regards to "Mont Blanc" appearing, it's your rank in the Community, please see here for more information on our ranks

In the report that summarizes the ride there's already average speed. Just add average moving speed.

In addition I'd think that a moving average speed would be even more useful for folks without a power meter.

Thanks for the additional information. This is currently available in the statistic you referenced. The "average speed" displayed on the Activity Detail page is calculated by using the distance and dividing it by the moving time -- which removes resting time. If you take a 10 minute break or stop at a traffic light, this time will be removed from the average speed number.
