[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.

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.
