And if like Carbonfiberboy you were not re-establishing your LTHR periodically, then you left off a key set of data that might show you some more accurate assumptions over time than picking data from rides that might be affected by whether you were solo or group. Or even if there was someone you saw further ahead that you worked hard to pass and then worked extra hard not to let them pass you.

That's part of why they say not to do your LTHR with others.

I'm just happy to be doing better at my age still. I try not to think of it as the light bulb burning brighter just before it burns out.
I'm a cranky misanthrope, so I don't do much of anything with others.
