TE on BikeJournal

I guess I'm a purist. I only count outdoor miles. You may not see me on there until March...

If I'm on a bike, the miles count I finally got my fenders on my mtb, reattached my computer mount (technical difficulties from a new handlbar) and thought I was ready to ride. Thermometer said 11 degrees and the flags were whipping in the wind. I wussed out. I figure you work harder for trainer miles so why shouldn't they count?

good question, Dar. I feel like i should DOUBLE count my inside miles!
they are torture. Your muscles get the workout, even your bike gets the workout, so why aren't people counting them? because you're not moving forward in space? well then, orient your bike pointing eastward and you
WILL be moving forward in space with the rest of the planet.

Yea, yea... that's how the arguments go over there, too

I don't think most people post their routes. You get to pick what columns you want on your journal. I figure my routes are kinda a waste of time, though I've posted some of the nice loops on my blog.

Hmm I use mine on my journal so I can compare rides and times etc. If you dont have any idea of what route the entry was for how would you do this??

I also like to know for climbing. If I want to do a ride with a certain amount of climbing I can look at altitude gain on my journal for the different routes and make my decision.

Hmmm.... I'll note that I did the "Seymour - St. Boniface" route or "out to Bondville and back via Old Church" - but people would have to know where "back" was.
However, I don't compare times. There are just too many variables to make that meaningful - except for my commute I don't even do the same route that often. (I am going to try to get back to timing that, but that would mean getting computers on those bikes... haven't gotten to it yet.)
Mostly I don't really care about time (hmmm... couldn't that be a song ).
