The Pink Tron

WTF Strava?!

We get together to chat about how confusing the Flamme Rouge Racing team event was, Strava's big, bad decision, and the week in Herd Racing.

Swimming the Channel, Winning the Tunnel

This week we get together to chat about how to get through racing a stage race (hint, recovery and nutrition are important), what we think of the Jarvis island update, Zwift's bike testing and the future upshot for racing, as well as our TTT bug-a-boos...in addition to the weekly roundup of Herd races!

You Skipped What?

This week on a very special episode of the Pink Tron (they're all special, though, this one's just as special as all the others), we discuss whether we'd like to ride with Eric Min in Mallorca or whether we'd be too worried about Zwifters' bike handling on mountain roads, whether we think the updates to the Zwift Racing Score algorithm are a step in the right direction, whether the new Zwift Camp sounds like what Zwift Academy should be, and what the silliest thing we've skipped in order to Zwift is...along with the week in Herd Racing.

Does this Trainer make me look Faster?

This week Steve, Stef, John and Brent chat about the new Zwift updates letting us sort our bikes, trainer troubles (including the Wahoo updates) and all the weeks Herd races. And of course, what we are drinking! Thanks for listening.

Starting Fresh

This week we discuss what setup we'd suggest for a total beginner - more suggestions welcome! Also, the new community course selected for series 2 of ZRL, the Herd takeover of Zwift Community Races, how we're doing on the Zwift Club Challenge, and a check in on the week in Herd Racing.

Winter is Coming? No it's here!

This week Brent, Sean, Chris, Stef, John and special guest Nathan Trachta talk about the start of everyone's favourite no categories Zwift scratch racing series - Herd Winter Racing! Nate gives us the low down on some new Herd Beginner Racing categories. We talk a bit about the mysterious thing growing up from the depths in Watopia and our favourites out of proposed new routes for ZRL Season 2. Plus the usual Herd racing round up. Moo!

Double En-Tron-dre

It's a big crew in ahead of a big final weekend in the Herd Summer Racing Series. We discuss all the Herd racing events this week, delve far too deep into the news about Zwift Racing Score, hear about a controversial new form of sandbagging from John before wrapping up by sharing mechanical woes from our cycling journeys...
 

Hack or Bodge

This week we chat about the upcoming Community Racing Festival, the ongoing Herd Club Challenge, and the introduction of Zwift Racing Score as the primary categorization tool (along with the potential drawbacks). We once again try to convince Brent to Everest, this time in response to a rant about XP. Also, apparently it's possible to hack into Shimano Di2 shifting, and now we wait for a mass mechanical in a pro race. All this in addition to the weekly discussion of the Herd Racing schedule.

Exit Light, Enter Night

This week we discuss the introduction of Zwift Racing Score more broadly across the platform, VR glasses as the future of Zwift, a Metallica whiskey pairing, and Brent's inevitable Everesting failure, along with the week in Herd Racing (including strategy talk for the week's Climber's Gambit inspired HSRL race).

Konami Codes

This week we've got a full house, and we chat like it. Among the topics: How cool is it that there's a Zwift Play Konami Code? How did we like the ZRL scoring system? What's the low hanging fruit for making Zwift a better racing game? How much time did Sean spend on his cocktail? We also chat about the week in Herd Racing, in particular this week's HSRL on Champs Elysees.
