I want to get into motorcycle enduros....

About 35 years ago I participated in a series of enduros that were set up for 4 wheeled vehicles:  jeeps, buggies, Baja Bugs, etc.  Computers didn't exist back then.

Now I am looking for a relatively inexpensive way to get back into it on my bike.  I know where to get the roll chart holder, I have found a great timer (aviation: big digits, shows minutes and seconds) but what I am stuck on is the odometer.

Obviously I can buy a $400 computer but my wife would flip if I spent that kind of money right now.  I have seen references to using a bicycle odometer but I have not found any that provide a 1/100 digit and I just don't see how you can ride possibilities with only a 1/10th digit on an electronic odometer.

On a good old fashion mechanical odometer you can see the 1/10ths digit roll and estimate how far into the 1/10 you are.  With a digitial, you would be in the dark until it changed.   I also haven't found a bicycle odometer that allows you to bump the milage up or down.

So, can anyone recommend a simple enduro odometer, or perhaps clue me in on how you ride with a cheap bicycle odometer?
