It directly contradicts your idiotic claim "Becase you don't ride so 
nothing happens to you. You and Frank are alike andput in 5 miles a 
year.And then talk about riding as if you actually did it.", dumbass.
(not to mention the bizarre logic that internet links posted in this 
forum work for Frank and I becasue we "don't ride".)

Says you. We have no proof of your rides. We have no proof of your 
alleged stroke. I think you're lying about that in a desperate plea for 
sympathy.

Besides that, you're also retired and in an area where you can ride 
year-round. I've never claimed my mileage was impressive, in fact, I've 
always stated my yearly mileage is _not_ impressive.

What you choose to believe or not is irrelevant. The Garmin doesn't lie.

> I think thst you throw the bike on the car, Turn your Garmin or whatever on, drive to the start of your group ride, do the ride and then drive home and turn your Garmin off and log your ride. 

Then show an example of that. You have access to all the rides I posted. 
Show one - just one - that you think was done in a vehicle. Should be 
easy enough, just look for a ride where I averaged in single digits in 
the middle but kept up with the speed limit at the beginning and end.

> There is no way on Earth that a man who finishes 5 minutes behind the Cat 3 winner can average half that speed.

Maybe, but you'd have to find someone that finishes 5 minutes behind the 
cat 3 winner to support that claim.
