I’ve been noticing that my garmin has a speed discrepancy whenever there are trees in the equation. Today I was tracking along the cap trail at 19 mph when I came upon some trees. My speed immediately dropped to 14-16 mph. My wattage, and cadence stayed the same and I didn’t shift gears. The trees are disrupting the unit from tracking speed.

My question, if it’s disrupting speed can be disrupting distance?

Not a huge deal, but It was all I could think about while I was pedaling this morning.
