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.
Your in my neck of the woods. I live in Orlando. You could just stop by and pick up your dirty sock prize. :-)

I had to laugh at your 10 mile run – I’ve got several maps that look like that: “Wait – if I go around the outsides of all the parking lots, and then around the insides, then around the other side of all the buildings, it’ll be six miles. Now to find the other four…..”
I’d still love to go back, though…..
When I stayed at Disney a few years ago, I asked where I should go for a run, they gave me this small piece of paper with a 2 mile loop….I asked a few other people because I didnt’ want to run around the same loop 5 times…anyway, everyone EVERYONE said, why do you want to LEAVE Disney grounds….I found sidewalks that went now where
I was part of the support staff for a management meeting a few years back at the Yacht/Beach Club Disney Resorts.
When I got home after 10 days of the “Magical” experience my family was going to shoot me if I said that word one more time.
Hey, Have a Magical Day!!
Hey there, I am new to the sport and used your website to research GPS watches… turns out now I am hooked and have to check back several days a week to see whats going on in your world. Thanks for all of the info
DDDIIISSSNNNEEEYYY!!!
My God, the place looks the same as when I went there as a kid….and I am waaaaaaaay older than you….
Ray,
First of all, love your site! Discovered it two weeks ago when I was looking for GPS reviews and your Foreunner 405 was very helpful.
I’ve had it almost a week now and I can’t believe I’ve been running for 14 years without one. I have small fingers so I’ve had no problems with the bezel.
Running my 14th consecutive MCM in two weeks. Keep up the great work.
Tami,
I bet they gave me that same 2 mile loop. By the Boardwalk, Epcot, Beach Club, Swan and Dolphin?
I also stayed at the Grand Floridian one year and the running is even worse over there. But if you get out real early there’s a golf course nearby and you can do the cart paths.
