  1. Just a reminder, the first of January is a good time to start a
    ride/training diary. There is a simple spreadsheet here that you may
    find useful:

    veloway.orgdiary.shtml

    Or do a search on google because there are lots of other training diaries out there to choose from.

    SR

  2. Is there any online sites that let you enter your data in a form? Allow members of a club to be
    grouped together? Our club ( spfldcycling.orgspfldcycling.org ) has one person keeping track of everyones
    club ride. I would like a site where a rider or ride leader types in the names and miles for that
    ride then is approved for club miles, and allows personal miles to be entered but not approved for
    club miles.

    I like that...I just wish it were in miles rather than km. I guess I can modify it, build my own, or
    search out another one. thanks.

    Just change Kms to Miles in the header columns and it suddenly becomes an imperial measurement

    There is nothing in the spreadsheet that specifically uses kilometres. You could change the units to
    leagues, milliarium, asparsa, parasang, furlongs, chains, or light years and it would still work OK.

    You might want to look at

    activebody.orgactivebody.org

    We have a sort of team from Bikeforums.net there. Many other folks seem to post their data there.
    But, I don't know if one person can enter other's info?

    Check with the owner, ClintThayer - you can ask by posting on the ActiveBody Forums, or I could ask
    him for you on BikeForums.net, if you like.

    If you're interested in a Windows-based program that also tracks bicycle maintenance and health
    stats, check out my CycliStats program at cyclistats.comcyclistats.com. You can download a free, fully
    functional, 45-day trial version from the website. It is "metric-aware", and allows you to switch
    back and forth from metric to imperial whenever you want.

    Have you ever considered the ability to import files from a for instance a Polar HRM? I'm
    downloading your trial version as I'm writing this. With my HRM I automatically get a training diary
    which is nice. But sometimes I find it inconvenient to use especially for information like how long
    have my tires been on and which bike did I use etc.

    Yes...version 2.0 includes the ability to import Polar .hrm files directly. Just click on "File
    / Import" on the menu. Soon, I'll add a "drag and drop" feature, to make importing those files
    even easier.

    Thanks. I found it when going through what's there. The drag and drop will be nice since I have over
    a years worth of hrm files 😉 I take it that I have to download them to my PPP software first and
    then manually import them everytime. Or can it be automated by placing them in a specific directory
    for instance.

    Having three bikes of my own and two more in the family I do like your maintenance options.

    Dude, pretty cool looking proggy. I'm about to install it. What's the price? I didn't see it on my
    very quick perusal of the site and the 'purchase' button didn't work in my browser.

    Is that your sole software? Is it in C or VB?

    Yes...currently you have to download from the Polar to the PPP software, in order to create the
    hrm files. Eventually, I might be able to directly access files from the Polar, but they consider
    the data proprietary and make it quite difficult to decipher. They offer a developer license, but
    it costs at least $500 per year, and $1 per program (I think that includes all downloads, even
    trial versions). But, if sales support it, and users ask for it, I might be able to include that
    in future.

  15. Roger,

    Gary's app looks pretty cool but if you need something online and has team features your welcome to
    check out the activebody.org website that Denver suggested in his post. Although it does not have
    the ability for one person to maintain everyone on the team (mileage wise), but it does have a
    great deal of team options and having an online app (and free) gives your team lots of options.
    Feel free to email to my private email account ([email hidden] or [email hidden]) and we
    can talk more.

    Have a great day, Clint Thayer Admin activebody.orgactivebody.org

    Hi GaryG,

    I've just installed the Cycling software, pretty nice.

    Quick question. I have a bunch of data in XL format, and I do see an 'import' function, so I entered
    some sample data in the software and then exported it to see what the format would be.

    Then I pasted my old data into this format, and imported. Oddly, it reported only finding 5 records,
    no matter how many I imported (I had about 20 records on the page of my sample). I did not report
    any errors.

    The exported format was:

    Distance Time AvgSpeed AvgHR MaxHR AvgCadence ElevationGain MaxSpeed (etc)

    ...as the fields so I filled these in with the old data and then did the import.

    Any idea why the data import finds only the first 5 records? Is this a limitation of the demo or
    something?

    Thanks.

    Nice program! I'll give it a go over the next few weeks, especially when I get my new bike (whatever thats going to be).

    We're doing the coast to coast across the pyrenees in September and I was looking for something to log my training, this looks ideal.

    I've done a simple log for use with a pocket pc but this goes into much more detail.

    regards

    I did try it a couple of months ago, for a few days less than the trial period. It is a pretty nice
    program. I could recommend it for people who hate fiddling with spreadsheets.

    But I'm afraid it only got me interested enough to get into Excel and develop my own spreadsheet to
    do pretty much the same thing. Doesn't do quite everything your program does, but does all the parts
    I'm interested in. Sorry.

    I also have Quattro and Lotus 123, but found it was easiest to do this with Excel.
