It's only moderately interesting but the differences are sometimes about 1/2 mile in 25 or so. The route followed is essentially the same, it's a road group ride that stays together, but there are always slight variations in terms of road position, how somebody takes a corner, etc...so I assume enough variation to account for that discrepancy. As well I've the wheel sensor so my distance is always the longer one. I'll have to pay attention next time.
