I've been logging runs on RunningAhead.com for about 6 years. When I first started cycling it was easy to log those workouts there, too. I like that I can easily look back at what I was doing a month ago, a year ago, or 6 years ago.
I also recently started uploading my Garmin to Strava, but I'm not as sold on it. I find it to be really slow and I don't want to pay for the added features. RunningAhead has everything available for free.
I like Bike Journal.
+1 but I make it very simple. I am just looking at how many rides and miles I am doing. I am not riding to make the figures grow, I just like keeping track from month to month. I never change the terrain so when looking all my rides are flat. In my discription I just put how my ride was, and the what the weather was. I like comparing the weather from year to year and I keep I not what I wear in different temps to refer back to the following year. I do not use it to compete with myself or anyone else.Quote:

[QUOTE=Bethany1;643196]I downloaded Strava the other day. Used it for the first time and realized when I got home I forgot to turn it off when I stopped riding. Said I did 25 miles at 24 mph when I really did 4-6 miles at 5-10 mph. Wish I really was that fast..LOL!
OMG, that is hilarious! I would totally be doing that. One way to squash your competitors on Strava though, if you compare stats. :p
I keep my stats on a simple excel spreadsheet. I used to keep track of elapsed time, but now I only track mileage and average speed. I usually note where I rode and weather and anything fun or unusual that I saw on the ride. It's fun to go back and remember these little details sometimes. And I can certainly see the improvement in my average speed, even though it doesn't really feel like I have improved much. :rolleyes:
