Some people keep track of their cycling mileage and rides with a paper record, some might use a spreadsheet and some use an on-line journaling system such as Strava or Bike Journal.   Ridelogs is similar to Bike Journal, but is included with your WAB Membership to provide our members with a convenient method for tracking their rides.   If you are a Strava user, you can simply set your preferences to download your rides from Strava to Ridelogs.

Members are encouraged to use this Ridelogs system, but if you prefer to keep track of your rides in another manner that is fine.  At the end of the year when we gather the total mileage from all members, you can still forward your totals via eMail or do a one-time entry at the end of the year.

Ridelogs has many features (which will be explained below) but please don't be overwhelmed!  If all you want to do is record the date and mileage, that can be done with just a few clicks.  See below for a information on how to use Ridelogs and a description of all features:
