This is written by a cyclist, for cyclists, and is a compelling Mac-only application. This application is routinely recommended on cycling forums. I can't recommend it too highly.

There is a similar program available. It is called rubiTrack; it's not bad, but it pales in comparison to Ascent.
My 2 cents

I also use TrailRunner, which is a free app (though donation ware).
With TrailRunner it's just the other way around, less features, more lovableness.
It really depends on what your goals are and what keeps you motivated.
And the third in the pack - Garmin Training Center - is just plain crap. Garmin should just buy Ascent or TrailRunner and make their customers happy. Personally I would suggest TrailRunner to them.
But as it looks, they don't care anyway.

It is WAY better than the Garmin software -- both the PC and Mac versions of it. I was using the Garmin software for a while because I didn't know this existed... then a friend pointed it out and I tried it out and bought a license within an hour. It's already excellent and it's maturing and updated quite frequently.
Always great to find small software developers to come out with specialized Mac applications like this. Hooray for Montebello Software (I wonder whether it's named after the 5 mile, 2200 foot climb in Cupertino, CA... looking at the web site I sorta think so ;-)

Excellent data and map displays.
Responsive developer.
