If you have a reasonably new Garmin device your data is already probably sitting there on Garmin Connect. And it can easily be sent to RideWithGPS or Strava if you chose to allow that.

If you enter your data manually and don't use a device, then those sites also have a means for you to enter manual data. They also track equipment too. Some maybe better than others. Though I don't know if equipment tracking is available for free accounts. But subscription accounts are pretty inexpensive, IMO.
As stated in my original post I have (and currently) trying Strava and also Garmin connects. So far neither seem to have the equipment tracking and ride sorting that I would like. I admit that I am new to Strava and maybe just have not learned it well enough yet. Or the feature I am wanting are not available until you subscribe. I would like to be able to test before I subscribe.

I am also looking for a new bike GPS computer as mine is a 14 year old Garmin Edge 305. If it ain't broke, don't fix it, right? Accept it is stating to have trouble downloading data from the unit to my computer. I am leaning toward a Wahoo Bolt, but still researching head units.

I am already annoyed with Strava in that I had to turn off several email notifications and postings to other social media because I do not want any of that. So far Strava seems like it is "Facebook" for cyclist and runners. Or at least that are the features I am seeing most and do not care about.

I did try Golden Cheetah and did not really like it either. I will check out RideWithGPS, and MapMyRide and any others suggested. I do admit I am old, do not like change and tend to be very picky so maybe I just need to work more on adapting to current offerings.

Thanks for the suggestions
