Garmin training center isn't anything great for the PC either, but it is night and day better than the crappy Mac version. What are you Mac users, er, using to download and track your ride info? As a side note, watching cycling.tv/ on a Mac sucks too!

I am testing this out, instead of Motion Based. I am about to buy the full version. Give it a try for free for up to 10 activities.
I hope Garmin Connect turns out to be better than Motion Based.

On a Mac? Ascent FTW.
It's updated like 2-3 times a month. Awesome product.

Power Agent from Power Tap works well or well enough on a Mac too. I guess I don't see what other things people want that they keep calling some of these software terrible. I have seen and used some of the ones above and never thought one had a benefit over the other. They all log info the same. It is how you use it that is useful, and no software will do that for you.

I second this part. I got a subscription and was never able to see/watch a darn thing other than some of their commercials. It took them 0.6 seconds to charge my card for the subscription and about 7 months to refund me my money because it would not work at all. It is actually Cycling.tv's fault actually and not the Mac itself. They kept telling me that they were releasing a new feature to solve all this and it never happened. They also said they would release a feature that you could use to simply download the content and watch it on the computer like downloading youtube stuff, but that never happened either.
