Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Got a Android.. which app?

Looking for a Android app for cycling. After a quick look I see that Map My Ride and Strava are very popular.

I'm open to suggestions.

I use both. I map my ride prior to riding on Map My Ride, and then I ride with Strava.

I like Strava. My droid is about a year old and sometimes the gps doesnt update enough on Strava and looses my position. It will show me cutting off sections of my ride.

Bikecomputer Pro and Endomondo on your phone.
Bikemap.net or Ride with GPS on your comp.

Pretty good article in Bicycling mag about Strava and how it's been making people push their limits (and sometimes the law) to try and beat other riders. I stick with Endomondo as I can track hiking, running, and even stationary riding with it.

Strava when I was on android. Now I use Endomondo on my Windows phone, and upload the GPX data to Strava to keep all my rides stored in one place.

Strava's been crashing like crazy on my olde Droid lately, so I'm back to endomondo now.

endo tells you how much you should have drank on your ride - which is kinda silly, but probably more useful than Strava's fake power numbers (for the PM-less).

I use Strava and Endomndo. Each for different reasons. Both are good and free. Did not like map my ride.
