I count actual bike miles ridden on the road. This is so because I live in Southern California and hardly use my trainer. After each ride I jot down 8 statistics from the ride: start time, miles ridden, average speed, average speed at half way mark, maximum speed, total time, riding time, odometer reading. Then I calculate the average speed on the return leg. After the statistics, I write a short commentary on the ride, how I felt, who I met up with on the ride, wind conditions, flat tires, helping other riders, etc. This commentary fleshes out the statistics and I sometimes go over this information to see how I'm doing. I put this on microsoft word and there were times when I did a "find" to determine some useful information. Also I describe repair work done on the bike, like chain replacement, tune ups. This is not on the ride, but its part of the biking experience.
Some day, after you die they will find it just in time and perhaps put some of it in your eulogy
