Musing and Errata on the world of Adventure Racing from the Yak
presented by MPGear.com

Tony Berwald, the accomplished race director that brought us the spectacular North Georgia Adventure Race for four years running, has resurfaced with the launch of OutsideElectronics.com.

This latest venture is an online store specializing in electronics geared towards the active outsider. Right now his product line is limited to a vast selection of GPS devices, but will soon expand to include bike lights, headlamps and watches. From there the store will continue to add new product categories over time.

To celebrate it's grand opening, Outside Electronics is giving away $1500 in store credit between August and December. All you need to do for a chance to win is sign up for the Outside Electronics Newsletter. Drawings will be held monthly with the stakes going up each time. The first winner will get a $100 store credit, the second $200 and so on up to the final winner in December who will get a $500 store credit.

My relationship with Tony goes way back. He tried to kill me in 2002 by subjecting me to sub-zero temperatures at the first running of the NGAR. Despite such a rocky start we've come to be friends and have worked together closely ever since. As such Tony has graciously offered a generous discount program for readers of checkpointzero.com.

The first 10 orders using the code CPZERO15 will get a 15% discount. Once 10 orders have been placed that code will expire, but don't worry. From this day forth you will always get 10% off by using the code CPZERO.

If you've been eyeing a GPS unit (I just bought the Garmin GPSMap 60csx and it ROCKS) now's the time to lay your money down. If you need an added incentive consider that in keeping with the NGAR tradition, 10% of all OE profits will be donated to charity.
