TrailRunner looks like a tool for Runners — But I am a Biker...

Although TrailRunner looks like focused on runners, bikers will benefit from TrailRunner too. The only difference is the approach on handling routes:
Runners like to plan their routes detailed in advance and seldom own a GPS device like the Garmin ForeRunner. They would like let calculate a route for a given distance and then export the course onto an iPod for orientation.
Bikers plan routes roughly in advance but primarily like to collect and catalog their rides afterwards and watch an elevation profile. They often own a GPS device like the Garmin Edge and a Mac. Even some runners own a Garmin ForeRunner and a Mac.
So if you are a biker, open a new document, connect your GPS device, download your ride and possibly let TrailRunner download satellite imagery or topo-maps of the course-area. Both, runners and bikers would then make a diary entry and watch their training progress.
It's all that simple.
