Route to Workout Conversion Tool?
I'm going to be doing some cross posting here, so some of you could see this up to 3 times. Apologies for that. I've come up with an idea that I haven't seen implemented. Before I embark on it, I want to know if anybody else has seen it, mainly because I could use it today and it will take me a few days to do it. I want to…

Grand Tours, Other Ideas and The Future - A Question
After reading the discussion about the grand tours, and how people are trying to decide what their own future in Cycleagues should be, I've come up with a related, but still different, question. I'm starting to work on endurance biking. My goal is to start doing a century each month by the end of the year, and next year to…

TrainerRoad vs Other Apps
Over the winter, I used TrainerRoad to keep me improving, and it really helped me out. As spring arrives, though, I'm wanting to get outdoors, and TrainerRoad is *not* conducive to outdoor workouts. Furthermore, I can't grab a .tcx or .fit file and upload it to TrainerRoad to continue showing my workout schedule. This…

Experience With Meetup for Cycling Groups?
I've been doing a lot of thinking about a lot of things lately, and one thing I keep coming back to is that I'm enjoying bicycling a lot. I'm considering starting an endurance group near to me, since that's the direction I'm most interested in going (I have a crazy idea at some point of biking about 300 miles in one day…

RideWithGPS.com: Premium or not?
I've finally gotten a Garmin Edge 820, and am very pleased with what I've seen so far. Can't wait to be on the road with it. I've seen a few people using RideWithGPS.com, and it seems like a pretty decent site. What I'm not sure about is if I should go premium on it or not. Is there anybody here who uses it? Did you go…

MyFitnessPal, Google Fit, and Strava Question
So, I'm trying to integrate the tools I'm using to help me stay on track better, especially on calorie counting. I've started using Strava to track my bike rides as of this past Friday, and I use Google Fit to track my steps automatically (I have an Android Wear watch, so why not?). Everything syncs to MFP automatically as…

Biking Advice?
For me, biking seems to be the best cardio I can do. Low impact, and provides a decent workout (my house is in the middle of some hilly terrain, so learning to ride those hills is really working my muscles out!). That said, I feel like I'm probably doing some things poorly. Any suggestions on how to get the most out of…

Food Journaling Question
I've started hitting this problem, and it's bugging me. We got out to dinner to a pub that doesn't seem to have nutrition information. Or we make dinner at home, but the exact recipe is not known (my wife is a much better cook than I am, but this also means she plays more loosely with recipes, which means I might not have…

Finally Fixing My Health
And got directed here. My journey is the same as many, I'm sure: Let myself get further and further out of shape until I finally got my wakeup call this past June. Fortunately, mine wasn't dangerous, just a corporate retreat with a lot of physical activity that left me hurting for days. I knew it shouldn't have done that,…
