I've been looking for a way to share my rides from my new Garmin Edge 500, but sadly nothing is really fitting the bill. Most everything I've found essentially just says "I worked out on 8/27. http://link.com/activityid/". I'm trying to find a better way to give a little more intelligence to my shares, much like RunKeeper does. For those not familiar with it, here's the Facebook version:

And here's what it sends to twitter:
"Just completed a 17.09 mi bike ride with @runkeeper. Check it out! http://rnkpr.com/a11aaa #RunKeeper"
The twitter version obviously includes a lot less info, but sadly I've just not found any way to take the data from my Edge 500 and share it in a way that doesn't FORCE friends to have to click through for a brief summary. If it could share like Runkeeper does above, that would be awesome.
In an ideal world, it would be nice, through whatever service, to be able to create a sharing "template" of sorts with certain variables included in the workout entries. Something like "I completed a %activity activity on %date. %distance | %time | %speed_avg | %pace | %climb. http://link.to/activity
Is this already possible somewhere I'm just not aware of?
Thanks for any help / insight.
