In a packed and busy episode, the emphasis for the Zwiftcasters in the New Year is very much on new things.

Will we hit a new Peak Zwift, beating last year’s over 49,000 concurrent riders? Simon, Shane and Nathan enter their guesses.

The new Zwift Bike was announced, well leaked, by Zwift in a strange way over the holidays. The Zwiftcasters discuss this, but more importantly, the features we now know about. They are excited.

There is a new Home Screen coming to Zwift, but contain your excitement because it’s a slow roll out. The Zwiftcasters have had a preview and they very much like what they’ve been playing with.

There is brand new functionality coming to Clubs and the podcasters reckon it will be a huge development as the community gets new - and simple - ways to organise their own events.

Elsewhere Simon talks to Mike Hanney about the new Zwiftaliser, the invaluable tool for diagnosing connection and other issues for Zwifters.

And there is a new set of tests scheduled to start the long awaited clampdown on the sandbaggers.

Along the way Simon, Shane and Nathan find more Zwiftiness to explore and debate.

It’s a long one - you’re gonna need a bigger pot of chamois cream! We hope you enjoy listening.
