Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

What ride tracking software do you use?

Do you use a road tracking software to log your workouts?


I have heard a lot about strava but I don't have a GPS -
right now I am using mapmyride.com and it is okay but not great...

anybody have their own templated excel spreadsheet or something?

Strava but I am getting bored of it.
Will probably switch to WKO+ and trainingpeaks one of these days. Just post brag worthy rides on Strava.

I like "RidewithGPS". it works nice for mapping out your rides even if you dont have a GPS.

I am a cheapskate - Strava on iPhone, that's it. You don't need a computer, it uses the GPS in the phone.

I like Strava and I post everything - especially my worst performance rides. Public humiliation is a great motivator :-)

Garmin connect as well as Golden Cheetah. GC more for the analysis, Garmin connect more as an online storage. (I download the .tcx files to GC for analysis.)

garmin connect (not sure why, guess I started with it and cant stop) Training peaks is my primary, but I am liking strava for simple analysis more and more.

Strava.
I like the fact that I can come home; switch on the computer and see where I went and how fast I was, things I'm not always aware of while riding.

Only cycling for 3 months now, it's great to see the progress.

Bikes: Russian Vodka

main: Strava
backup: WKO+
doublebackup: Garmin Connect
tripleFunbackup: Golden Cheetah.

I think Strava does everything better primarily because it is web based. THe analysis portion of WKO+ is better but I don't often go into that much depth, and if I do I open it up and look at it then close it. It's not web based(unless you pay for TrainingPeaks) and I refuse to pay for cumbersome service. Strava is lightweight and web based, perfect for my use and tracking. I dont really care so much about the segments but I like the fact that I can see where my friends are riding.

Golden Cheetah for sh8ts and giggles. Garmin Connect as online storage backup.
