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.
Congrats, happy to support and be a VIP member
Congratulation from Sweden to a very successfull and interesting blog with many good articles and rewiews!
Post 2000 was about Limits. HA. That *must* have made you chuckle.
Congratulations. Not a day goes by that I don’t visit DCR. Your reviews are second to none, and I’ve enjoyed being a spectator to your life and your growing family.
Well done, Ray! Looking forward to the next 2,500.
Congratulations Ray! I’ve been reading for 6 years! Here’s to another 2500 posts!
Congrats from Portugal!
Congrats, impressive feat. It was great to meet the 4 of you at Christmas. Thanks for taking the time to visit, and for taking the time with the blog. I have no idea how you can keep up with everything.
Congrats Ray, your blog is always a highlight for me. Here’s to many more posts!
Congrats Ray. Whenever a colleague of mine asks for advice on some piece of equipment, it´ll be strongly based on your review, and always followed by an indication that the person should drop by your blog and readup before putting their hard-earned reais into something…
Congrats but only 2,474 posts from you including this one :-p
Looking forward to the next 10 years of informative and fun posts. Best to you and your family.

Congrats on the milestone. Looking forward to the next 2.500! Looking at it makes you wonder where time goes… Big changes in life as well in technology, hopefully the upcoming decade will be at least as interesting as the last. Keep up the nice work, and tell the Girl that people do wonder about her? (your?) newsletter, but I can see life being busy for you guys.
Well done Ray.
Great to see you still going extremely strong.
Congrats, Ray! I made a calendar view for my blog on its 10th birthday that reads its data from the WordPress database and makes a little visual overview: link to eagereyes.org
I’m happy to share the code if you’re interested.
Well, okay, I guess after that much time and that number of blogs your tribe is official an extended part of our family. I mean heck, another decade more and we will sure to be digital integrated anyways way beyond Strava, Facebook, YouTube and Twitter.
Congrats!
Thanks for all the great reviews and advice. And well done on all your personal milestones. Good luck for the next many thousands of posts, cheers!
Congratulations on reaching this milestone. Looking back on the old postings reveals some quite significant life changes although certain themes carry through. Interesting to know if you are planning to stay in Paris long term or where your next move may be.
Gratz Ray……..hahahah first post…..one reply.
Good job on doing this site. You are my hero!
Congratulations on this impressive series, hopefully many more will follow! It is always relaxing to read your site and learn something along the way (and spend some money).
Congrats from France for the excellent job ! Still N°1 after all these years :)
Congratulations Ray! Great life journey and a ton of cool sports gadgets! Keep up the great work!
Well done. But how many comments have your name on them. That will be scary.
Congrats Ray (and Girl and dog and peanut). 2500 posts is a heck of an accomplishment. At 5,000 I’m guessing 3 more kids, 2 more dogs, a cat, and maybe a ferret and you’ll all be living in Africa.
The links to the old posts are great, but how about a trip back in the Wayback Machine?
