5 Easy Steps To The Site

In Depth Product Reviews
You probably stumbled upon here looking for a review of a sports gadget. If you’re trying to decide which unit to buy – check out my in-depth reviews section. Some reviews are over 60 pages long when printed out, with hundreds of photos! I aim to leave no stone unturned.

Read My Sports Gadget Recommendations.
Here’s my most recent GPS watch guide here, and cycling GPS computers here. Plus there are smart trainers here, all in these guides cover almost every category of sports gadgets out there. Looking for the equipment I use day-to-day? I also just put together my complete ‘Gear I Use’ equipment list, from swim to bike to run and everything in between (plus a few extra things). And to compliment that, here’s The Girl’s (my wife’s) list. Enjoy, and thanks for stopping by!

Have some fun in the travel section.
I travel a fair bit, both for work and for fun. Here’s a bunch of random trip reports and daily trip-logs that I’ve put together and posted. I’ve sorted it all by world geography, in an attempt to make it easy to figure out where I’ve been.

My Photography Gear: The Cameras/Drones/Action Cams I Use Daily
The most common question I receive outside of the “what’s the best GPS watch for me” variant, are photography-esq based. So in efforts to combat the amount of emails I need to sort through on a daily basis, I’ve complied this “My Photography Gear” post for your curious minds (including drones & action cams!)! It’s a nice break from the day-to-day sports-tech talk, and I hope you get something out of it!

The Swim/Bike/Run Gear I Use List
Many readers stumble into my website in search of information on the latest and greatest sports tech products. But at the end of the day, you might just be wondering “What does Ray use when not testing new products?”. So here is the most up to date list of products I like and fit the bill for me and my training needs best! DC Rainmaker 2023 swim, bike, run, and general gear list. But wait, are you a female and feel like these things might not apply to you? If that’s the case (but certainly not saying my choices aren’t good for women), and you just want to see a different gear junkies “picks”, check out The Girl’s Gear Guide too.
Batten down!
I am in MD… so I feel your pain. I got in my run before it got dark… but don’t expect to get much in before Monday.
I totally hear ya on having nothing to do this weekend but becoming friends (again) with the trainer. I’ll be doing the same thing.
Sounds like a doozy. Stay warm and safe!
I’ll be hanging out with my good friend KineticPro and probably doing some baking as well. Pretty excited for the snow.
The difference between the winters from one year to the next is amazing. This year you are getting blasted and we have temps in the 40s day after day and week after week.
Enjoy your winter wonderland!
Hey, I have 4WD. Can I come over for dinner tomorrow? :)
you can still go for a run :)
hey, that road looks awfully familiar…Hope you’re surviving the night man! bundle up with good food, and good company
The weather on Washington made news even here in Finland: link to iltasanomat.fi
Hope you’re safe!
I am impressed by all your preparations and provisions. I’m definitely looking forward to your personal post storm report. Spokane Al and I got to experience a couple similarly MASSIVE snowfalls the past two winters, but as he mentioned this year Spokane is completely the opposite. Minimal snowfall, most days are in the 40s and a fair amount of rain. It’s like we got transplanted into Western Washington for a year or something.
Looks like the basics, food and exercise, are covered! Enjoy the snow and stay cozy!
How much snow did you get??? We got about a foot here in NE Ohio! :)
You are building your own Sous Vide??!!?? Wow! I want one too! You might give the Voltagio Brothers a run for their money. Cook’s is one of my favorites. There is a great brownie recipe in the new April issue. My family agrees it is the BOMB!
:( Molly didn’t send me any lemons, although she did send me a kick ass splish for my bday!
Sous vide? Do you watch Top Chef also? The hubby and I need to get together with you and the Girl sometime. Between the food and the training it could be a great evening!
We got about 18 inches of snow here.
Enjoyed all your pictures: snow and food. (cute bike on a sign).
