The Didn’t Get What You Wanted $500 Gadget Giveaway

DSC_4548

I’m sure many of you received various sports gadgets over the last few weeks as part of the holidays.  But for those unlucky elves who received only a half-eaten gel packet in their Christmas stocking from their not-so-significant others, I’ve got a festivus of a present for you: This giveaway.

The winner will get a $500 credit to CleverTraining.com, my most excellent partner in this giveaway crime.  By supporting the site through Clever Training you also can save 10% on basically anything they sell (or get points instead).  If you win, you can use that credit for anything from the GoPro Hero7 Black to a Fitbit Versa smartwatch to a random pair of socks to the Favero Assioma power meter, or heck, even towards a new trainer.  Whatever floats your boat (note: they don’t sell boats or even other vessels like submarines).

How to enter:

Simply leave a short description of what product you’d get and why (but don’t worry, you can change your mind later if you win).

The reason you need a short description of ‘why’ is that if you just put a simple product name (i.e. F5), you’ll likely get caught up in my SPAM filters.  And nobody wants to be sandwiched between two pieces of SPAM.  Got all that?

Good luck!

The giveaway entry period will run through Friday, December 28th, 2018 until 11:59PM US Eastern Time.  Winner will be selected randomly.  One entry per person.  The selected product/products will then be ordered immediately and shipped immediately, assuming they’re in stock.

    wheel off would be great

  52. Evgenii Egorov

    A replacement for my Polar V800 (that doesn’t hold charge for as long as it used to). Alternatively it could be a pair of Favero Assioma Duo pedals, so I won’t be tied to my only rear wheel that has PowerTap G3 (the hub is great, but the wheel is not so great).

  53. Darren Eaton

    G’day Ray – I would be all in for a GoPro ! Epic trail ride in Mt Buller with mates on the MTB’s stage in March, and footage during this ride would be awesome ?!

  54. Tony West

    Merry Christmas Ray and family. I would go a power meter of some sort for the bike. Time to move my performance up a level. Most likely the Assioma Duo – pedal based so I can move between bikes.

  55. Szabó Zoltán

    A Suunto 9 would be nice!

    Assioma Faveros. Most reliable power pedal meter on market.

    The Kickr Climb is on my dream list. I’m training for an event, virtually, with a friend who lives on the other side of the country. I’m at sea level in wintery Boston while she rides outside year-round in California. Never easy keeping up.

  69. Ewan Hardie

    So, do you go through this list to see what people are interested in so you can better target either content or advertisers? Yeah, rhetorical question since any reply will never be seen among all the other comments.
