I'm such a gadget geek...

But I want one of THESE!!

Still trying to figure out where on my bike I could mount the dang gum thing! I can't even mount my forerunner on my bike, so I have to wear it on my wrist- which I HATE when I'm riding... sigh... But I WANT one of those!!!
And then of course there's the 400.00 price tag... Though I did see it somwhere for 349.99... hmmm... And I *do* get a 15% discount at trisports!
ahhhh the wheels are a turnin... and I don't mean on the bike!!

Caligurl has one of those and she LOVES it. She has it mounted directly over her stem, I think. You may want to PM her and ask her - she's quite the gadget geek herself! She can probably also tell ya where to get the best deal.

I will probably get something like that when I get my life in order. Right now I just don't have the mental wherewithall to figure it all out! I have the simplest HRM one can get and I barely have the brain cells for that one!

I think you should get one... also, over on bikeforum.com under the road biking section there is a review thread. They have all kinds of good info there!

Go Get One, they're really COOL!!!

I was just looking at the pics of your bike - I think Cali's is mounted right over the "circle" part of the stem (right where it attaches). Sorry, I don't know what that is called

You can do it, Denise!!! (I'm not sure why I'm so excited for you to get this, but I am!)

Yeah, but I just spent like 400.00 on "last minute" race items.. ahem... and then I just KNOW that when I get to the race site next week I'm going to buy up anything and everything that is A). Cute and B). says Ironman on it! LOL
I have this thing where I will not wear a shirt from a race I didn't do. So consequently I will not allow myself to wear anything that sayd IM on it until I do the race. Let's just say I've been waiting a LOOOONNNGGGG time!!
I do have a "training for IMAZ" shirt, but that's it.
And I saw a cute pink IM running hat that I'm drooling over. Of course the marketing folks can see a sucker like me coming- well 2000 or so of us, so I'm sure the prices will be mighty steep!

But yeah, that is def. on my list of must haves...

RM,

They sell all the same stuff at IM after it is over, only it now says "Finisher" on it. And it sells out FAST!!! And so do any of the large sizes of all the cool stuff as soon as the Expo opens.

We have the Garmin Etrex and hubby has his mounted on the stem. They do sell bike mounts for them. I think if you go to Garmin's site they have them and I know they have them at REI. We love it. We plan a route on the computer and then download it on the Garmin and off we go. We haven't gotten lost yet.
