    No, not really
    You could make an excel spread sheet and set it up to tally your time indoors, time outdoors, indoor miles, outdoor miles, and any other number stats you want to put in.

    (I recently made an excel spreadsheet but it only has monthly road miles in it which it adds to monthly totals, yearly totals, and monthly averages.)

    You could also get a small journal/notebook and put your miles in that.
    I always do this - partly because I don't always have access to the PC (or can be bothered booting it after a long day) and also because I do not trust that my hard drive will be there forever - or that BikeJournal will always be available when I want it to be.

    When I first started cycling I would record everything in my (hard copy)journal - time of day, temperature, max and average heart rates...
    Now I have only a few columns...

    Date / Bike Ridden / Total Kilometres / Total Time
    (Written like this;
    Date/Bike/KM/Time

    The rest of each line is for any other details - always the course ridden, but sometimes who I rode with or the temp if very cold or very hot, or if there was a nasty wind or rain. I always make note if it was a club race or event (and my place if I get placed). I also note if I am sick, and when I have my period.

    So you don't need two computers... unless you really want to...

    Courage does not always roar. Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying,
    "I will try again tomorrow".

    Thank you so much for this thread as I was also thinking that if we got just more members posting miles we'd be able to easily move up in the ranks.

    I joined last year so that I could do the 2500 mile challenge. I was thinking why bother with it this year since I log everything on Beginner Triathlete but realized I'd still be contributing to TE. I'll also continue to log because I like the way it tracks yearly and lifetime miles for each bike and also for different tires, etc.
    I'd rather be swimming...biking...running...and eating cheesecake...
