Here's the summary of my 2010 rides from my Ascent software.
My max speed is rather down for that year (previous year I hit 45). I wish I'd pedalled just a fraction faster to get over the 40mph...

A very happy 2011 to you, too!
Shall we set a Carbon Roubaix on fire and keep the remains in an urn?

No, no, no... please don't mention Ashes!
That Test series has been very embarrassing, especially since we have nothing even resembling a Barmy Army.

Do you you use Ascent on a mac? I was looking at it to save my garmin data. How do you find it?

It's excellent, i really like it.
I'm running os10.3 so not the newest Ascent version, but I've loaded it on my husband's OS10.4 Mac and it's got some nice extra features. The one time I emailed them for support they replied quickly with the solution, which was good.
I would definitely buy it again if I had to, it was only thirty quid IIRC.
I have recently bought a Mac and was looking for a suitable programme to manage my rides. Having seen your post, I decided to investigate the Ascent software. The result; downloaded and now working. It seems good and although I have not spent long playing with it, it does seem to do what I want. So thanks Auntie Helen for giving me the nudge forward on this one.

Glad you like it, Gavin. It was recommended to me by Jaded from YACF and he wasn't wrong.

Well, I've just logged my first miles - 16.42 over the last three days. Not so much. But they were done on a Maximus trike, half of them loaded up with plastic, card, glass and paper! We tend to do longer rides now that we've shifted to the city area, so hopefully I can do my bit that way. Morally, I ought to claim triple miles for the weight and the extra wheel.... 
Mind you, I do go very slowly on the loaded runs back to base.
I'll be adding my commute miles in a chunk at the end of the week - that'll only be 20 or so. As soon as the nights get lighter, I'll be making myself do the extra miles on the way home. I'm afraid my will power is not enough to make myself ride extra in the dark and cold.

Finally off the mark for 2011 with last nights commute- 18.5 miles.
Have set myself the same target as last year 3650 which I just missed out on by 50 odd miles. If it goes well I'll up it to 4000.

Thanks! I emailed them a week or so back to see if they were still developing it but didn't get a response which kinda put me off. I've loaded some rides onto it from my edge and it looks very good. May as well cough up now!

Don't blame you, I hate the dark. Cold is OK but forget dark. I'm off to a good start but only because I'm not in work yet so have been making the most of it while I have chance. It'll go downhill from here till it gets light again. :-(

I've never managed to get an unregistered version to actually talk to my Edge 500 without turning it off.

Ah, mine is unregistered at the mo and it sees the 500 ok. Hope it continues when I get the registration sorted! Still waiting for them to answer my questions. Seems there's no one at home...

Seeing my 500 isn't a problem, it's just it only gets the first activity on the unit then it turns off. WTF?!
