Garmin Edge 800


 


We wanted to drop you guys a line and let you know that we now have in stock the latest and greatest from Garmin GPS devices, the Edge 800.  The Garmin Edge 800 is the latest GPS cyclometer from the leader in GPS products. The Edge 800 is the first touch screen enabled GPS bike computer. It is ideal for touring, training, commuting, and for sure mountain biking! It has a built-in basemap and tracks your distance, speed, location and ascent/descent.  The base map allows the user to visually choose his/her own route while on the bike.  Use it with a heart rate monitor, speed/cadence sensor, or compatible power meter for a finely tuned analysis of your ride. The Edge 800 is designed to be durable enough to stand up to the rigors of the outdoors, but sensitive enough to respond to the touch of your gloved finger. You can read more about the Garmin Edge 800 here. This and other Garmin products are in stock at Mock Orange.

MoSpeed TT Series!

We'd like to invite everyone to come join us for the MoSpeed Time Trial Series presented by Mock Orange Bikes. To kick things off for 2011 we figured it would be a good idea to get the ball rolling on some early season fitness. This series will be an excellent way to see how you measure up against your buddies and also give you a gauge of fitness on a bi-weekly basis. Don't worry, each event runs every other Tuesday opposite of the Dixie Classic races.

We encourage everyone and anyone to come out and give our TT course a shot. No matter what kind of two wheeled machine you are riding there's a slot for everyone. Given that guys using all that Aero equipment might have a little advantage we are offering up a few prizes for the fastest times on a road bike with no Aero gear, i.e. Eddy Merckx style. The first race of the series kicks off on March 29th at 6:00p sharp.

LOCATION: Due to some scheduling conflicts we are having to re-route the TT course to a new location. The new start will begin on Farmington Rd. where it meets Shallowford/Courtney Huntsville Rd. at the Battle Branch Cafe. We are encouraging riders to park at the church on Shallowford Rd. approximately 1/4 mile past where Farmington Rd. comes in. Church is on the right.  We will have a Police office directing traffic at the start.  After that you are expected to obey all traffic laws.

ROUTE: View the route and elevation here: http://www.mapmyride.com/routes/fullscreen/28305796/.  We're pretty sure you already know this route all too well ;)

Time & Registration: The first rider will roll out at 6:00pm sharp. Riders will continue to roll out in 1 minute intervals until 7:00pm. We do have a max rider limit of 60 riders so we are encouraging people to sign up and get a time slot in advance. In order to register either call or come by the shop and reserve a slot. Registration is $10 or you can sign up for the whole series for $50. On-Site registration is available with no silly late fee or anything. We'll put riders in the first available time slots on a first come first serve basis.
