logging rides

[adunn01]

Hello,

Anyone got any good suggestions for logging your daily trips? Had a look at cyclogs.org which looks good for tracking progress, total distance travelled over the year, but doesn't include any sort of mapping to show where your ride took you and I'd like this feature.

Only started cycling again in May this year and commuted every day since then (apart from two week sabbatical when my bike got nicked!). Commutes only 6 miles a day so not a major achievement, looking to increase my trips this year by adding a 10 mile trip every night on top of my commute and want to find somewhere good to log my trips and keep me motivated.


Thanks

I use bikejournal - and am with the yacf crowd.

how about a pen and paper?


or Excel?

There is a CycleChat team on cyclogs which I think has clocked up the most mileage. I don't use that, but I sometimes use mapmyride which does maps and displays ride times etc on a calendar plus a cumulative count.

Thats a good idea - direct route to work, long route home and try to beat your previous time. I also have a Garmin Edge which shows the route on a display plus my previous best ride of the route (in real time), so it is like racing yourself.

pen and paper and excel wouldn't give me anything that cyclogs can't do. looking for nice pictures of my trips around glasgow. think it would motivate me being able to see parts of the city i've not visited and making new trips to cover them. although there will be parts of the city that I'll be happy to leave unvisited!

mapmyride looks good so far. think it might be the best option.

I use My Cycling as a log and BikeHike for mapping

I have an iPhone and use Trailguru to monitor my rides. As it hooks to the GPS in the phone it can plot my route on Google Maps, give me elevation and speed.

Have been using it for a while and it works really well.

BikeHike looks very familiar! A clone of another site perhaps? I guess there's some good mapping site templates and the like out there now (courtesy of google maps perhaps??) making it possible for mere mortals to build mapping sites. Which, for my money, is excellent. The popular mapping sites, like mapmyride, do suffer sometimes from poor response times. I know I've given up on it a few times. So the more the merrier I reckon. Distributed processing and all that.

I use bikejournal as well, there is a cc team on there, although I seem to be one of the few still using it...

I gave up on bikejournal. It is all very clever but it felt like hacking through a jungle of options to get at the few facilities I required.

signed up for a few of the sites mentioned today, but really like mapmyride for how quickly I can get to the options I'd really use. Spent most of today making up 10 mile loops that start at my house to help acheive my target of an extra 300 miles a month on top of my 150-200 month current total.

Yep, work's been constructive on my one day in over the festive period!

Maybe I'm a bit late on this, but I use http://www.mycyclinglog.com/ > quite basic, but does the job!!
