Hi Everyone,

Could anyone please recommend a nice book or journal designed for recording cycle rides ?

I'm looking to record information such as route, distance, weather conditions, time taken etc.

Something similar to the Rapha one (http://www.rapha.cc/index.php?page=205), although that is a little over the top.

It has to be a book and I'm not interested in software or websites that record rides.

I'd be grateful if anyone could please suggest something.

    I have a Velo press Training diary - isbn 1-931382-17-4

    Bought it from Evans cycles.

    Basically, it's a diary that you can record the following:

    HR
    Weight
    Workout
    Duration
    Weather
    Route
    Distance
    Time
    Zones
    Workout rating

    At the risk of inflaming people I'll say the Rapha Journal :wink:

    Hi mrushton,

    The Rapha website currently shows them as out of stock

    They were made for Rapha by Smythson which is a diary manufacturer for people with too much money.

    FSR_XC I don't suppose you have a link to the training diary do you? Cheers.
    If it's not a Yeti, it's not worth riding!

    If you have nice hand writing (mine is awful) you could make your own in a moleskine book.

    A quick search of the ISBN on Amazon and,
    Velonews-Training-Diary-Tracking-Fitness

    although I just use MyCyclingLog
    If you don't have it, you don't need it.

    My covers different & mine's spiral bound, but otherwise, that looks like it's the same.

    Thanks Pete,

    I did consider Moleskine.

    They have ones for fishing and travel and gardening, but none specifically designed for recording cycle rides.
