It appears I have no recorded ride data previous to 2012. Makes sense I suppose, I didn't get my first smart phone until around that time.
For the sake of nostalgia I'm looking through my old Map My Ride uploads from when I was in Texas. Some strong memories there, apparently. I'd love to go ride those roads again.
Also, I was significantly quicker back then, when I was still young.

I don't think I've ever averaged a speed like that. Maybe on the half-dozen group rides I've done, but those were a long time ago.

Per this, you shouldn't take him to the dog park.

Maybe you should go discover some new routes? #YOLO

I actually got a follow-up email from Comcast regarding my close encounter with their van a couple weeks ago.
Their representative asked me to call and discuss. She asked again if I got a license plate or truck number. I told her I don't have that but I do have exact location and exact time. She said that's not enough for them to identify the driver. I accepted that, although I bet if the driver committed a more serious crime they could track him/her down. Whatever.
I did ask her to be sure to spread the word to drivers that they should be more careful with cyclists on the road, she she promised me she would.
Case closed.

IKR. In the early 90s I rode from Philadelphia to the NJ shore solo. Started the computer in Camden after the slow crossing of the bridge. Stopped timing at the top of the bridge into Ocean City. Average speed was 21.1 mph. Solo. Distance was over 70 miles.

Another week were I have to wear a sweatshirt on the tractor while mowing the lawn to keep warm. Then it started raining and I got wet and colder. I had the heat blasting in the car to try to warm up.
