Riding Journal

[chatnoire]

I just keep a blog. It has some other stuff in it too, but the narrative format of a blog allows me to think a bit about my mood, what I ate, what the ride itself was like, and I can search by keywords.

I upload data from my Garmin, but use bikejournal.com as well.

I use dailymile.com
It lets me track everything I do (rides, runs, weights-reps etc, hiking, swimming, HR, course type, etc).
It's an all-in-one tracker.
And it's free.

Same exact thing for me also, upload from Garmin which I just got this year but have been using Bike Journal for quite a few years and enjoy having it in both places now. Plus I log my trainer miles which I don't do with the Garmin.

Used to use Bike Journal, which did nothing but make me feel inadequate about all aspects of my riding (not far enough, fast enough, enough hills), so I quit. It was liberating.
The only thing I use now is my bike computer, or I should say, computers, as I have 2 bikes. I look at my total mileage for each ride and cumulative mileage, as well as cadence, which let's me know if something is "off." I only look at average speed for certain kinds of rides, mostly, I don't anymore. I found that by only looking every few rides, I am often pleasantly surprised, instead of always upset.
Just me. I am not into stats, so I really do go by how I feel.

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.

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.

I think if I go the electronic route, bike journal is going to be it. Seemed simple, yet enough features to do what I'd want it to do. Thanks for the suggestions!
