This a plot of the route speed.

 Sample point 1 is up by Ojai .. the last point is my garage ... just like the altitude.

Shane's and Craig's are off the scale  .... me personally .. 10 mph off the top end stuff  would've been nice.

While the plots may make it look "easy going" ... you take into consideration some of the roads .... we were MOVING ... you'll hear more of that later.
