In reply to TobyA:
The altitude is much more accurate (and significantly greater, which is obviously important!) from the bike computer but I can calibrate this by knowing how high this house is, and how high Stanage is, and it is usually within 5m when I get there. A GPS Altitude ride sometimes only generates about 50% of the gain that the computer registers.
I tend to take my Ride Time from the bike computer since it stops more quickly when I stop.
Distance is dodgy though and I tend to think that the GPS in the iPhone is more accurate, although I am not sure about this. So average speed becomes
iPhone Distance/computer time.
You can of course use UKC to check it (in the UK accurately) at least by using your imported GPS data to create a Map My Route:

Then do the same procedure manually using our trace on map function and compare the results.
I just did this for a ride I did on Sunday and got 42.5km manually, and 41.43km for the GPS reading. Curiously on this occasion my computer said 42.7 which is closer, so there you go!
