It would depend entirely on how fast you ride. Do the math to figure out what google thinks the average speed is, then compare it to your average speed.
Ill do the math for you since you are asking this question. 1 hour 20 min = 80 minutes. 13 miles into 80 minutes is .1626 mile per minute. multiple .1626 by 60 minutes to figure out miles per hour. 9.75mph.
So do you ride faster than 9.75mph? If you do, then no it isnt accurate. If you ride slower than 9.75mph, then no it isnt accurate.
