Since I am so poor at cleaning my bike, in doing so today, I realized I lost my computer during the clydesdale race. I think I lost it just before the last run up before the finish as thats where I went down and bend my shifters off to the side. Its a blue Specialized with a big red button in the top center and two red buttons, one each side. If you found it, give me a jingle or email. Thanks,
