I am pleased to announce that Cyclogz now supports personal ride diaries today. Apart from showing the logs chronologically, this diary lets you see vital statistics on a monthly basis so that you can train better.
This is just the initial version. Please check it out. If you have suggestions, please email.
Happy riding.
Cyclogz now lets you enter ride logs manually. You can now input all the numbers, and upload course file, and enter a log the old fashioned way, i.e. manually.
Till now, Cyclogz provided two ways to enter ride logs:
- Directly from GPS: This is the fastest and preferred way to enter logs. The steps are simple. Connect your Garmin Edge to through a USB cable to your PC or Mac, login to Cyclogz, and the select "Upload" and then "From GPS" from the menu at the top right corner of the page. Cyclogz will automatically upload the logs from your Garmin.
- Garmin .tcx files exported from Garmin Training Center: You can use this approach to upload older logs stored in the Garmin Training Center. For this style of upload, you will be asked to download and install Adobe AIR, and a small Cyclogz Uploader application on to your desktop. Launch this application, login to Cyclogz, select your .tcx file, and upload all the logs.
- Manual entry: This is the latest addition, and my motivation to add this was quite simple. Over the past 3 weeks, I lost two of ride logs in my Garmin Edge 305 - once due to a mistake of mine, and the other time, due to a some crankiness in the unit itself. I hate to lose my logs, and needed a way to recreate them.
The first step to manual entry is to generate a course file for your ride. My favorite web site to create course files is MapMyRide. Go to that site and chart the course from start to end. After creating, MapMyRide lets you export the log as a Garmin Course. Choose the .tcx format for the course, and save the file on to your desktop.
Then come back to Cyclogz, login, and click on "Upload" and "Manually" option to open a form. Enter all the numbers, enter start/end locations, and upload the course file, and then save.
Note that this feature is still experimental. Try it out, and please let me know your feedback.
Happy riding.
Here is a summary of updates pushed today:
- Better activity editing, to edit the name, locations, and a more spacious editor to enter ride notes. Click on the "Edit this log" link to find out more.
- An experimental activity snapshot next to the rider profile on each log. There are still some kinks to be fixed.
- A more streamlined rider profile edit pages, to pave way for future changes.
- And, finally, a way to delete rides. This can only be done if the ride length is too short.
Happy riding, and your feedback is appreciated
