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

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 that are kinda like cash).  If you win, you can use that credit for anything from the GoPro Hero 8 Black to a Garmin Fenix watch to a massive pallet of nutrition gels, to the Favero Assioma power meter, or heck, even towards a new trainer. Actually, it’ll cover exactly the Wahoo KICKR CLIMB, since that’s on sale to $499 right now.  Whatever floats your boat (Note: While they don’t technically sell boats, they do sell stand-up paddle boards…which, are kinda like boats).

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. F6), you’ll likely get caught up in my SPAM filters.  And nobody wants to be sandwiched between two pieces of SPAM.  Got all that? Oh, and if you just want that amazing gadget t-shirt above, you can pick that up here. Or, become a DCR Supporter here!

Good luck!

The giveaway entry period will run through Sunday, December 29th, 2019 until 11:59PM US Eastern Time [Update – through Dec 31st when I remembered to turn this off].  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.

  6. Jason Bishop

    I’ve been working at upping my safety game out on the road and I’m likely going to snag the Varia RTL150 rear radar and Varia UT800 smart headlight in the spring now that the radar works with Wahoo. I asked Santa but apparently there’s a copyright conflict between the elves and Garmin. ;-) Keep up the great work, love the site!

  7. Bruce Watkins II

    Garmin Edge 530

  8. Vincent

    A Garmin 530 and a heart rate strap. Since that thing died i still miss it

  9. Wim Boonstra

    Still didn’t buy those assioma’s :)

  10. Steve

    I think I’d get the Wahoo fan. It’s something I could use, but could never justify buying.

  11. Dylan

    GoPro Hero 8! Thanks Ray!

  12. Chris

    To be honest I would love a power meter or smart trainer, but I know they are far too expensive for a present!

  13. jeff c

    could really use a new bike comp.

  14. RobW

    So much choice, something from Garmin most likely.

  15. Kerry Scott Sullivan

    I got what I wanted, but could use a set of Assioma pedals!

    I would definitely buy the Assioma power meter so I can train harder and smarter and regain more of my former fitness.

  24. Erica

    Thank you so much for offering this amazing giveaway (and for all you do). I’d choose the Garmin Fenix — so many great features (more than I could possibly use, but still….). Happy holidays!

  25. Niels Karhof

    I would like to get the GoPro Hero 8 Black so I can record my 3day Mtb ride next september throughout 3 countries (Germany, Belgium and Holland) for a good cause (Duchenne heroes) so my ‘sponsors’/followers can see something of my trip

  26. Ross

    a fenix 6, no wait hero 8, nevermind fenix 6, no hero 8, I can’t decide!

  34. Alejandro Moreno

  35. Turtiainen Jari

  36. Simon Brunner

    I’m on the market for a power meter. I’ll think i’d buy the favero assioma.

  37. Stefan Nüsse

    Santa was not nice to me and didn’t give me my needed Assioma Pedal Based Cycling Power Meter.

    Clevertraining please me nice to me!

  38. Ion Gruea

    A garmin 530 because the buttons of my old 500 are all worn out.

    Definitely towards a new trainer, saving for a mortgage makes my lust for fitness tech nearly impossible to satisfy

  41. Patrick Lenihan

  49. Sara

    I would get the Gopro, so we can film our adventures and our future peanut. I was due on 26/12, but the peanut seems to be quite comfortable at the moment. So I’ll have to huf and puf a bit longer :)

  50. Christian

    Happy Holidays! Favero Assioma Duo powermeter. I think it is most sane choice, if you need to travel with the powermeter, but not the bike :)

  81. Paweł

  82. Carrie Aubut

    Fenix 6(s?) pro to use PacePro in 2020 races: 5k through marathon.
