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.
Congrats Bambang! And yes, I’d love to see a pic of the dog-like cat on a leash.
Way to go Bambang! Yes, we absolutely need to see pics of the dog-like cat! Here is a cat-like dog perched on the back of my husband’s chair.
He needed to win just for the comment alone! LOL …
Someday I’ll win!
It could be a bengal cat. It’s very common to walk them on a leash or harness
Thanks for the tip about the 30% discount on the Garmin 735. Unfortunately the 30% discount doesn’t apply to Clever Training UK. With 10% discount the watch is still 100 USD more expensive than US. Is the 30% discount likely to apply in Europe?
Unfortunately Garmin handles sales per country/region. So in this case this is an authorized sale for the US, but not for Europe. :(
Ray question about the fenix 5s. Can you get longer bands or are they all short? I like the look and size on my wrist but it’s a little short.
Holy Moly! Thanks Ray for the great surprise!
Didn’t quite make it to the park on the weekend, but here are some pics of my Balinese catdog on her recent outing. link to imgur.com
Among other things, Lana loves playing fetch and chasing me around the house (vice versa).
Again, thanks and good luck next time guys.
Lana is lovely!
Wow, what a luck! Congratulation, Bambang!!!
