I also carry no computer or HR monitor on my Waterford track bike cuz they would obscure my lovely, vintage "double crest" logos on my Cinelli 66/42 bars.

I still ride hard and my normal loops are well documented as to elevation and mileage.

PS I don't much care what the hipsters on the SS/FG forum think as to what constitutes "style" as I find Velocity Deep V's ugly, esp. in colors!

Would that I could mount a "satisfactionometer" on my bars. Higher numbers there would be a true goal...that and a training program to achieve truly elite satisfaction of whatever kind we each seek.

I track the usual numbers when I'm getting back to fitness more than when I reach my goal. I've been off the bike for not-to-be-denied reasons for the past 5 months. At almost 61, fitness evaporates sooner than at 51. Still, back on the bike steadily for 5 weeks now and watching the numbers improve is both a reward, incentive, and motivation.

DG's original quandary of finding his satisfaction diminishing even as his milage improved is really a measure of the compulsiveness that can rob us all of sometimes elusive "satisfaction". The more I laugh at the bloodless cyclebot types symbolized by the cover of Bicycling mag, the better I do personally and the more satisfaction I feel and so the better I do personally and so............................on.

Thanks, DG, I've missed all things cycling including BF50Plus.
