How do you keep track of the amount of times rode?

Okay, I have to join the ranks of the CBuzz marathoners responding to this thread :).

I also use a tally counter for my daily rides on Timbers. (Note: If one is going to take up this method I suggest investing in a key clip or something of the like for easy access.) When I get home I enter the date and number of rides in an excel spreadsheet along with some other info. I find it works really well and has no hassle whatsoever.

My tally counter is going to suffer a sad, sad retirement this summer while I'm working at the Point, though :(.

Coasterman Mike - who agrees that a tally counter is the way to go... also a good pen and paper does the trick nicely

I can keep that clicker clicking STC...if you wouldn't mind loaning it for a season. :) That way it wouldn't get rusty and forget what it's supposed to do. ;)

my worst day coastering is better than my best day fishing.

It's simple, I use three things:
1. My brain
2. Something called addition I earned in Elementary School
3. My fingers or sometimes a piece of paper and pen(rarely), to assited in counting and keeping counts.

... Serously, it's not that hard. I go to a park and I simply remember how many circuits I had on each coaster. If I goto a good coaster event, I may get off a few rides...say 17 instead of 16 or 15, I know it happens! But, in the big picture I want a semi-accurate count, if I rode coaster X 112 time instead of 114 I don't really care.
