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

2011 Journal Software - What are you using?

I used Bike Journal in '08, Bike Wire in '09, and last year didn't journal at all. I think I'm going to start journaling again in '11. I used a Garmin for years, and Garmin Connect or Map my Ride might be options as well. Just got a Garmin 800, but I don't always use it, so it would be nice to manually add other rides. Thanks.

Quickest to use for me is Garmin Connect with my Edge 500. What could be quicker than connecting my USB cable to it, hitting UPLOAD and immediately seeing total time, distance, heart rate, cadence, temperature, elevation gain, a GPS map of the ride, etc. ?

It stores everything onling so you don't have to worry about computer crashes plus you can export to .xls and have that locally. You can sort by ANY item and get totals for things like Night Rides on Thursdays from 01/01/09 thru 12/15/2010 and compare your average cadence over that period with another.

Love it!

Garmin Connect is pretty good. If you have a Mac, Ascent is the only way to go.

WKO+, and separately a spreadsheet that's more or less the annual training plan format from the Training Bible.

As for sharing my stats, I don't care to really. Except for when I score points in a race of course..

Ascent is OK, but I've been a lot more impressed by rubiTrack https://www.rubitrack.com/

Strava for general metrics and segment performance.

GoldenCheetah for more in depth power metrics.

+1 for dailymile. I use dailymile in conjunction with Garmin Connect (Garmin Sync does not work for Edge 500/800s yet) - GC stores all the rides, dailymile I use for writing/adding details to the ride.

dailymile does do monthly totals, by the way.

The new Garmin Connect released today is pretty snazzy too.

connect.garmin as a backup. Otherwise, the same spread sheet I've used for ten years.
