ridewithgps

I like to plan and log my rides with www.ridewithgps.com which is one of several websites that leverage Google's mapping software to allow cyclists to do this. Similar sites include www.mapmyride.com, www.bikeroutetoaster.com, www.bikely.com, and www.gpsies.com.

You can see all my routes at http://ridewithgps.com/users/5873/routes and my activity log at http://ridewithgps.com/users/5873/activities. Today I noticed a really cool feature that I hadn't seen before.

If you take a GPS system on the ride with you and upload the trip to ridewithgps, you can replay the trip. If you switch to satellite mode and zoom in it's really cool especially as it also shows your position on the elevation profile together with current speed, rate of climb, distance, and elevation.
