Do outdoor route estimates include speeds from virtual rides?

[PCUL]

Can someone please tell me if the time estimates calculated for outdoor rides (based on last 4 weeks’ rides I believe) ignore the speeds from recent virtual rides, which are usually much higher than IRL rides? Thanks

Hey @PCUL,

I can confirm speeds from virtual rides are included. For cycling routes, we'll show an estimated ride time based on the viewing user's average speed over the past 4 weeks. This average includes stationary (non-GPS) activities.

Hey Bryant. This is pretty silly really. Can you please ask the dev guys to find a way to exclude (overstated) virtual ride speeds from the calculation of external ride times? Seems odd that this even needs to be said…
