Definitely not into the points and time tracking aspects of what Strava does, but this data is really really incredible. It's a great way to find new Roads to Ride.
For some time, I've been toying for sometime about building a sort of 'bicycle adventurist's right hand man' app for my phone. Somewhere in between Strava (functionality wise) and crazyguyonabike/RBW (culture/community wise). I want to make it a bit easier and less error-prone to pseudo-plan routes – and to go off of the plan and find something great. And maybe a way to share really great adventures. One of these days I'll get around to it. If you'd like to be on the beta-list, shoot me an email...
