The Garmin Forerunner is a great asset for both serious and recreational runners. It is very easy to use.

When I travel, it is great for helping me determine mileage and routes. One disappointment was the lack of a “back to start” feature. While it is listed in the manual, it isn’t a feature my 305 has.

It is hard to tell from the photo, but it is larger than a typical running watch, making it bigger than many women’s wrists. I use a terry cloth wrist band under the watch to keep it from slipping and rubbing, and it works great.
Program Oral Suspension 12pk

This Garmin Friction Mount is perfect for my needs. It stays securely on my dash and it is very easy to attach the GPS. I have a Honda CRV EX so the cords & GPS, with the case I also purchased, stores nicely in the drawer under the passenger seat and the mount under the “moveable” center console. Can grab it and hide it in a flash! The price at Amazon was the best I had seen anywhere. All in all I was very happy with my purchase.
Mongoose Exile Dual Suspension

Worth The Money…. I bought this bike because GMC Topkick Dual-Suspension Mountain Bike had pretty good reviews…and honestly, at 200 lbs. I needed a bike just a little more heavy duty than what was available in a dept. store…When it got delivered, I was quite impressed with the overall build and features of the bike. With dual disc brakes (that work great), quick release hubs and seat post, heavy duty V-rims… shimano componants…it really is quite a nice bike for the price. I’ve seen many argue that you should go to a bike shop for a bike…well, I looked around, you can expect to pay between well over $1000. to around $7000. for a dual suspension bike. GET REAL…I only paid $5100. for a brand new Honda XR-650 (motorcycle)…I’ve ridden this bike many times now without any problems. Keep in mind, however, that most bikes will need to be “fine tuned” when put together (brake adjustment, derailleur adjustment)These are very simple to do…If you arent sure, go to YouTube…you can find how-to videos there. All in all, I would surely recommend this bike to a friend if you are looking for something just a little nicer than your average dept. store bike.
