Any recommendations for apps to track cycling mileage?
The website that I have been using for years to track cycling rides, mycyclinglog.com, has been going downhill for a while. The owner/developer does not appear to be maintaining the site any more or with any regularity. Earlier this summer, the site went down for about a week before it was fixed. More recently it has quit tracking rides by "tags," which is how I track my commuting mileage.
Can anyone recommend any good apps for tracking cycling mileage? An app that would track other kinds of exercise would be even better. I am not looking for a GPS style app such as Strava or Cyclemeter that tracks miles while you are riding. My cycle computer handles that just fine. I am just looking for a basic app that will allow me to easily track my exercise each day by type, miles, time, average speed, etc. I have tried using another website, bikejournal.com, but it restricts the number of fields you can use -- by their selection -- so I cannot use it to track commuting miles unless I pay for premium membership. I might not be opposed to paying for membership if I could actually use the site for a while to see how it works, but I'm reluctant to pay $20 for a tracking site that may or may not work well.

You can manually enter rides to Strava. Also can tell it whether it's a commute or not. I think it would work for you.
If you want to track other exercises as well Runkeeper is really good. It's also GPS based but same as Strava you can enter workouts manually.

The site I've been using, mycyclinglog.com, was developed before there were any apps or before they were widely use. It is website based, however, and I can access the site through my iPhone or iPad, but it is not an app. I would prefer a tracker that has an app as well as website, so I can use it on my desktop computer as well as phone or tablet.
I have had apps with Strava and Endomondo in the past but didn't keep them because they seemed to be data/battery hogs. I also found that the GPS trackers on these apps consistently under-report mileage compared to my cycle computers. However, I hadn't considered using those apps to manually enter and track exercise, and wasn't aware you could use them for that.

Just to be clear, the manual entry on Strava or Runkeeper is on the websites only.

An old fashioned wall calendar hanging right over or beside your bike. Write on it with a pencil or a pen, as you see fit.
A cycling themed calendar would be preferred by most, but mountainous landscapes or scantily clad wimmens might be within the acceptable range to males in general.

Why?
Sorry to be such a pain in the ass by asking such difficult questions, but I'm interested in knowing about the data people collect and what conclusions they come to about it. For my own answer, I would suggest knowing what time you started a ride, what time you ended, how much stopped time there was, and what intensity you were riding. From there you can probably guess within say 10% accuracy, how far you went. More to the point, you've also collected data about time on the bike and riding intensity.
