I'm going to let my free trial of WKO+ expire and use Golden Cheetah. I'll keep training peaks, as I like the diet tracking feature.

you bought a power meter but think TP is expensive? I think for what you get its quite inexpensive.

Thanks for the note about my spreadsheet ProLog Cycling. If anyone is looking for a powerful Excel-based log, take a look at ProLog Cycling. Lots of work attempting to make the best log out there.

Cheers,

I think the general consensus is that you either use TrainingPeaks or something else!

For what it's worth, I used to pay for TrainingPeaks and loved every second of it. Now I work for them!

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll look into Prolog Cycling, but may end up using the paid version of TP in conjunction with Golden Cheetah.

Switched to Golden Cheetah and it's an improvement in some areas except no calendar to schedule training. Hopefully v3.x will have it. GL

this - it's simple, easy to use and generates elevation profiles.
