5 Easy Steps To The Site
1
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.

Guess I’m still in the market for a replacement for my MOTOACTV. Have been frustrated with it since the touch screen froze up on me in a bike ride when it got a drop of sweat on it :/
Well, better luck next time… Congrats to the winners and many thanks to Ray for the great site and giveaways.

Hmm wonder if the Kevin who won the Timex run trained.
what a super fun giveaway!!
congrats to all the winners :)
Ray, you’re a good man for doing this. Just want to mention one thing…many people voted twice (or more). In fact,one WINNER commented at least twice (the nice Garmin F910XT). Just a cursory scroll up and you can see the second comment (besides the one that won). While you should NEVER look a gift horse in the mouth. I do feel a tad uneasy that people don’t respect your rules and win anyway. Really hope you find a better system in the future. Here’s hoping.
Awesome deal! Thanks for thinking of everyone!
Thanks for the giveaway and the amazing site!
I won the Timex Run Trainer and sent you an email yesterday. Just posting here as well so you know to look for it since I’m sure you receive hundreds of emails a day.

ray@dcrainmaker.com Enjoy!
I didn’t win, but just wanted to say thank you for the effort you put into this blog, answering all our questions and giving us tips and ideas!
