"Not to one-up you, George, but you should try this too...

I put together a small website that helps riders keep track of their rides each year. I ask for no money and no personal information at all - not even an email address.

The site features:
- Individual ride entry (date, bike used, time, mph, distance, odometer reading and comments)
- Stats for each bike you own (total time, each year's time, average speed, each year's avg speed, total distance, each year's distance)
- View rides in calendar view or list view
- Calendar view lets you see mileage totals by week, month and year
- Calculates approximate calories burned for each ride entry (based on rider weight, ride time and avg ride speed)

I've been trying to upgrade it into a triathlon training site so I've included run tracking as well, but I haven't gotten to the swimming section yet.

Check it out at Rideminder.com

If you'd like to just take it for a spin without registering, login with username: guest and password: guest. That will let you see what it's all about. If you like it, register. Again, I ask for no personal info, so there's no risk on your part. I created the site for myself, and thought it'd be fun to let others use it too.

Let me know if you like it.

I very much like the clean interface. I do have a question regarding the algorithm used to estimate calories burned. Even after I adjusted the rider weight to my one, the estimated calories burned is high compared to actual kJoules of energy measured on various rides, even after adding in BMR calories.

"it's really cool! i took the last 2 years off from the whole training log thing and was thinking of getting back into it for 2005. i think i'll give your training log a try.

i've been trying to run twice/week (ending up more like once/week), so the running component will be useful. also, have you thought about adding a gym session component. that could be divided up into weight training (sets, reps, etc.), core/abdominal workouts, spin classes, yoga classes, other aerobic stuff like lifecycle, treadmill, stairmaster, etc.

without a gym component, i thought to ""add a bike"", calling it maybe ""gym bike"" and putting in data for lifecycle or spin class workouts. another ""bike"" could be ""weight training"" and i would just use the comment section to detail the weights workout. that way the weight session would come up on the calendar.

thanks for this resource.

Thanks for the great tool, Mike. You might consider adding altitude gained for each ride. That and Todd's suggestion for a gym component would really complete the picture.

"I never paid much attention to numbers, but this is easy to use and I like the multi-bike options.

Here are some ideas for additional features –

Temp. of day,

For added motivation- a converter to show ""Pints of Chocolate Haagen Daz"" per Ride.

and

Intensity level of next day ""Ride-hangover""

–None
–Mild
–Moderate
–Severe
–Unable to stand from fetal position"

Date and mileage new tires put on; lubed, new bartape, new wheels, other parts, etc. Otherwise nice job.

"I can access the site from my Mac in Safari, but whenever i try to enter a ride, i get a ""Service Unavailable"" or ""syntax error"" message.

Maybe there's a browser incompatibility, or just heavy usage!! Could anyone let me know if they've had success with it today in Safari, and then please let me have a turn!

cheers,
Cat"

What do you mean by down? I am not using it to log my rides, but I did not have any problem getting onto the website or into my saved ride area.

"I've got an Excel spreadsheet version that's not as elegant as Mike's Rideminder, but I created it when I started having trouble entering rides on Rideminder. I've set it up to track true ""road"" miles separately from ""trainer"" miles but there's no calory counter. If anyone wants it, email me at the above address and I'll send it to you."
