Software / CycliStats

Logging rides is not a necessity for me, but I like it. I log my rides in a program called CycliStats. This is a nice tool for keeping track of lots of things related to my riding. Here are the kinds of things it tracks:Cyclistats

  • Outdoor rides
  • Indoor rides
  • Maintenance intervals
  • Goal attainment

If you're looking for a tracking tool for riding, I haven't found anything better. It takes less than a minute to load the program and enter a ride. Well worth it to me for what I get out of it:

  • A quick visual display of when I last took a day off.
  • Weekly and monthly ride totals (distance, time, calories, climbing)
  • Cumulative data graphs (total climbing is my favorite)

Adding a ride is simple, and very little is actually required. Here's the data I enter for each ride:

  • Time the ride started (date is selected automatically when I right click in the calendar)Cyclistats
  • Which bike I rode (road bike or spin bike)
  • Distance (for frequent rides this is entered automatically when I choose the pre-define route)
  • Time (I use the moving time data from my GPS via TopoFusion)
  • Elevation gain (I get that from my GPS via TopoFusion)
  • Heart rate, average and max (from my heart rate monitor)

There are a lot of other data entry fields, but these work for me. If you're interested in logging your rides, you should check out CycliStats.
