I was trying to remember the other day how many rides I went on last year and I couldn't remember. So for this year I decided to create a ride log and I've made it as a Facebook application that anyone can use.

Its very simple at the moment, which is not a bad thing, I don't want to clutter it up. But I do have plans for more features if people actualy start using it!?

Basically all the app allows you to do now is enter in a database each ride you go on. With fields like location, trails you rode and friends you rode with. The app is integrated with facebooks friends system and has an option to post a message to your wall when you add a ride.

You can try it out here: http://apps.facebook.com/ridelog/

Future features:
- Profile tab
- Profile box showing latest rides added
- upload images
- stats page showing most popular locations, trails, top riders and so on
- location & trail names clickable
- global page to view everyones ridelogs (if public)


If you have any suggestions please let me know!

The follwing features have been added
- Profile tab
- Narrow & Wide profile boxes showing latest rides added
- stats page showing most popular locations, trails, top riders and so on
- location, trails & comments searchable
- Rider directory listing other riders
- export your rides to a CSV file
- privacy settings to exclude yourself from directory or stats
- integration with facebook friends
- option to publish new log entries to your wall

I also added the new tab called "bikes" where you can list all the bikes you own. Then when you are adding a new ride it will show a drop-down list of your bikes and you can choose which one you used for that ride.

You can also choose to list your bikes on the profile box.

40 people have installed the app and 128 ride logs have been added so far!

I created a Skiing/boarding version of the "ride log" called "Ski Log". Its pretty much the exact same, just geared for skiing.

The Ride Log app is almost at 1000 rides added.
