Yea, I could do a spreadsheet...have done that in the past. I recently got an Archos 70 (7" tablet). Will be great to have for touring but a pia to carry on normal rides. I also don't want to be bothered w/dealing w/ a gps on most rides, but I do like to keep track of stuff. Ideally, it'd be nice to be able to plot graphs of a particular ride by date vs. time or speed or avg hr. Most of the apps I found will only give you a basic log of all rides with a running total.
