I figure I pick a spot and compare the speeds I reach by the time I get there. That's too inaccurate?

That sounds perfect to me!
But like Mr Lee suggested, it may take several runs to get a good sample group.
On a side note, you could use a stop-watch to measure the amount of time it takes to go from zero to the speed limit, to avoid law enforcement issues.
