Strava

Strava (strava.com) is a website for tracking your rides and runs as recorded by your Garmin or other GPS enabled computer.

While you can share your details with others, you can also keep all your details private.

Strava has both a free and paid mode.

I cycle to get / stay fit

Strava can show you your splits up common climbs and help you track improvement over time. There is no need to start/stop lap timers - you just ride - and upload your rides when you're done to get detailed stats.

Seeing direct evidence of improvement can be a great motivator.

Strava also has a "suffer score" which is a combination of how long you rode for and how hard you worked - i.e. how much you suffered.

Some members have been known to crack 250+ on the longer rides.  

Everything is a race / a win is a win!

For the competitive amongst you, you can gain some serious bragging rights by beating your cycling compatriots on various challenges.
