Garmin Edge 500 Timer?

While I'm riding, I want some kind of notice every 10 minutes that I need to drink or take nutrition. I looked through the menu on my Garmin Edge 500 and I don't see anyting that would do that. I've heard somewhere that people were setting their Edge 500 to beep at regular intervals. Does anyone know if/how this works?

Steven - Yes, you can set the 500 to beep during set time intervals. I do not have the computer head in front of me - I will look when I get home this evening. it is very easy and incredibly helpful - mine is set to beep every 10 mins, reminding me to eat and/or drink. Do you have a 310 xt or 910 xt also? You can set these to do the same thing, which I have set up for the run.

Look at Page 9 for how to set Alerts...

Boom! Thanks for the help. It is indeed on page 9 of the manual. There are all kinds of alerts. This will be fun!
