Today is Friday – you made it to the end of the week – and almost to the end of spring. But more importantly, today is also National Strawberry Shortcake Day (Don’t trust me? Look it up.) Unfortunately, I don’t expect to eat any Strawberry Shortcake today. Or tomorrow. And sure, I could have titled this ‘Father’s Day Gadget Giveaway’, but some countries celebrate that on other weekends (lookn’ at you, Australia).
In any case, it seems reason enough to give away some gadget goodness. But fear not, I won’t be restricting this to those in specific countries (Australia or otherwise). Anyone, anywhere on earth, is welcome to join as always. Also, I think we just need more cake holidays to have faux reasons for me to give stuff away. It’s been far too long.
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 almost anything they sell (or get points instead). If you win, you can use that credit for anything from the GoPro Hero 7 Black (which is actually $70 off through Sunday, the lowest we’ve seen it), to the just shipping new Stages Dash units, to a random pair of socks, the Garmin Forerunner 945, or heck, even towards a new power meter. Whatever floats your boat (note: they don’t sell boats…wait, update, they do!). Also note, your credit is in US dollars, not Australian – otherwise you’d get less. Nobody wants less.
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). Or, you can leave a description of which product your dad would want for Father’s Day.
The reason you need a short description of ‘why’ is that if you just put a simple product name (i.e. FR945), 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 Monday, June 17th, 2019 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.

I’d get a new power meter for a new (to me) bike

I think it would have to be some power pedals for me. Fingers crossed

I’d get a Polar Vantage V to replace my ageing but still functioning v800.
I would buy socks. Lots of socks.
A new powermeter to replace my no-longer supported via company bankruptcy, Watteam PowerBeat.
I think I might get another Stages powermeter for the gravel bike so that I don’t have to keep switching back and forth between it and the road bike.

I would get the Gopro, mainly to capture my daughter at the beach.
I’d get a new Garmin Fenix, in the hope that it has less bugs and so I can listen to some music.
Probably a new Garmin watch to replace my 920xt. Except that the 920xt works. So maybe a replacement for my Edge 520 Plus, which is less user-friendly than I imaged. I hear Wahoo’s Elemnt and Bolt are more user friendly.
Oh maybe upgrade to a wahoo kicker
I’d get a Vector 3 to get my rides power!
Want to try Forerunner 945, I think it is a awesome watch
I’d be tempted by either a powermeter or a fancy 945

Edge 530, wait 830, nope don’t need touchscreen so 530, but 830 sounds cooler, oh I give up …..
It’ll be a wahoo kickr core to keep me riding instead of using the weather as an excuse to eat crisps!

I would get a bike power meter for IRL riding. Zwifting with a Kickr Snap has shown me the importance of a meter.

Definitely tempted by the 945, but a set of Assioma Duos is also something I’ve thought about buying…

Forerunner 945. I’ve rediscovered triathlon now i’m getting towards 50 and this looks like just the tool to satisfy my desire for data plus the bonus of being super practical and lightweight.
I’d go with a GoPro, because I’d love to have a convenient way to record video from my rides. (And with two young sons, I could see lots of adventures getting recorded)
