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.

Coke, and that would be the original formula of course. None of that New crap they tried to pass off years ago.
Not so simple, but I’d go Bow Tie. Traditional. Respectable. Confident.

2 thumbs up & hands down for a Mac.
Gotta agree boxer-briefs, best of both worlds.
PC for work and MAC for the fun stuff.
Coke goes better than Pepsi with Jack.
Good luck in Boise.
Mac not to get confussed with the Big Mac.
Boxers or Briefs?
Deafinatly briefs, if one is to be trendy and wear skinny jeans than you CANT wair boxers. Plus I think spending my life in lycra means I am used to a…..well…lack of freedom down there
Hamburger!
Hamburger!
Boxers of course….free your b*lls and your mind will follow!!
Greetings from Argentina
Boxer Briefs and x86 rules
Thank you for the great reviews!
Coke or Pepsi: Coke until the release of New Coke, but I always preferred Peach Nehi. Now I don’t drink soda unless I’m desperate. I do drink a bit of espresso…

Boxers, Pepsi and PC are the important ones here. And wood instead of plastic, maybe? :)

Straight tie! A bow tie needs a special kind of person to wear it. So generally a straight tie is best!

Coke or Pepsi? Neither – water
Bow tie or straight – straight, but only if I have to
Paper or plastic – both
PC, hamburger, briefs, wheat
Mac, with wheat brad IN a bow tie! No coke, please!

White Bread, there’s only so much healthy I can take.
I agree with Shaun. When you got a Mac, you can’t go back to Pc. I switched 2 years ago and i am so happy to be on Mac !
Forging a MacBook aluminum case requires intricate design an high precision and so does the perfect workout schedule. Can’t wait for the RCX5
Burger and coke, always a good way spoil oneselves
