I used Bikejournal.com for a time. It worked well. If memory serves, there's a free version that allows you to track a limited amount of data and a paid version that allows you to track more. I stopped tracking a couple of years ago when my bike computer started acting up, and I didn't bother to replace or fix it. I should add that to my to-do list!
Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.

I have an Excel spreadsheet with mileage, the mileage from the odometer, and a spot for notes about conditions, what I ate, that sort of thing. I should add a spot for average speed, but I'm too lazy to figure out how to reset that.
At least I don't leave slime trails.

Sporttracks. I use the paid version because it has so many incredibly useful plugins but the free version is still pretty robust.
Editing to add that I would not use an online site as the sole method. If that site goes defunct you will lose all your data.Last edited by SadieKate; 06-21-2012 at 08:30 AM.

I was using MapMyRide.com, but have pretty much moved to RideWithGPS.com. I find it helpful to track mileage, elapsed time, and HRM information. That is with road rides, the only thing I track when mountain biking is elapsed time and HRM information. I couldn't care less how many miles I've ridden on the trails, it is the time that is important. Eventually I might get fast enough on the trails that will change, but time will tell.

Interesting. I googled for some online stuff but there's so much out there, I'm not sure what's worth the effort. Or even if it's worth the effort. I'm not using a HRM now. It's good to hear what others are using.
To answer Becky, what are you going to do with it... well, when you get older, you look back at it, reminisce and say, "Holy crap, did I really do that? A metric century in 2 hours! Man, to be young again!!"
I'm kidding of course. About the 2 hour century, not looking back on your entries. For the short term, it's nice to chart my progress but yes, when I spent those 10 years off of the bike, it was cool to see what I was once capable of.
