data

It won't surprise anyone that I time (most of) my rides to work, nor that I keep them in a Google Spreadsheet. And I've posted here about times and goals. Now that I've been doing this for a month or so I have enough data to show a trend, and a couple of close approaches to the goal I've set. So I thought I'd share ...

When I was doing the same thing, I found my downhill morning trip was slower than my uphill evening trip. I always figured that being awake, limber, and most importantly on my way home was more important than the elevation. That said, I'm curious: what are you using to track hills and elevation changes? Something onboard or some kind of after-the-fact route analysis? (If the latter, and it's something I can use, I'd love to know about it!)

My favorite tool for this is the National Geographic 'TOPO' software. But gmap-pedometer.com can do it now too, albeit with lower resolution.
