We Are So Back
#51
11/02/2023

Just like Zwift, we got stalled out on Level 50, but since the levels go to 60 now, we should probably record more podcasts. We catch up, talk about the end of RGT, eWorlds moving to a new platform, and other things in the world of indoor racing.

Tri Hard, With a Vengeance
#49
03/27/2023

We watched a Super League Triathlon live event broadcast so we could speculate if it is the next big thing in virtual racing. We also went back and talked about MyWhoosh Club a bunch, even though that is technically against the rules of MyWhoosh Club.

The First Rule of MyWhoosh Club
#47
02/15/2023

You know the drill. The first rule of MyWhoosh Club is ... don't talk about MyWhoosh Club. Big money is on the line in the upcoming race series from the upstart virtual racing platform.

There is also that lesser competition, UCI Zwift Worlds, and RGT has a new steering feature that will leave you saying BRAvo.

The Ski Erg is the New Zwift

Is a watt a watt? Is a ski erg a bike trainer? Is Mike a little bit upset? We dive into these philosophical questions and try to find the meaning of the Zwift universe. Also, stick around for a poetry slam with KBH.

New Zwift Pack Dynamics
#44
01/03/2023

The speed of the "blob" has long been annoying in Zwift racing, and with the new pack dynamics being unveiled, will the blob be reined in? The Echelon Racing League is back and RGT has its own physics issues. And is Zwift racing the new pickleball?

You may find this hard to believe, but an unbelievable cycling performance turned out to be ... unbelievable. We go inside Ed Hoole's chuckle-worthy "performance" at the European Zwift Worlds Qualifier.
