Need a cyclo computer that can do one button trip distance reset

I'm looking for a (cheap if possible) computer that resets trip distance with one button. I need it for adventure racing to track distance from point to point. My current computer (Nashbar) requires you to page through to the total trip time display, hold two buttons for 3 secs, then page back to the trip distance display. Obviously, this is not ideal while flying over bumpy dirt roads or single-track, deep in oxygen debt.

All other features are secondary.
Anyone know of one like this?

Thanks in advance

I have a Cateye Strada. It only has one button (other than the hidden one for settings). As long as you leave it set to display trip distance, resetting means holding it down for two or three seconds. It also has two trip odometers, so you can leave one to track your whole trip.

I have the cheap wired version. Should be less than $30. You can spend a bit more for the wireless version.

My Sigma BC-1009 resets trip distance by holding top left button for a few seconds. Press and hold again to reset everything (not to factory default, just all the averages and times).
