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.
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).
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.
This week on The Pink Tron, Sean forgets the sweaty transition, so Brent fills in with an amazing feat of precognition, psychically divining how the episode ends...Also, we chat about the new ZRL points race points distribution and how it will affect riders' motivations as well as discussing the week in Herd Racing.
We audition a new format this week, leaning more into the having a chat side with less emphasis on going in depth into each of the week's Herd races. This week, Brent rants about free trade, Steve is interested in where dogs use the bathroom, and John tries a new mushroom beverage with limited success.
Steve has to run off to see a movie (Logan, I think it was), so we quickly get to a discussion of riding with Herd friends, and the low bar of entry to community on Zwift and particularly why the Herd is quite welcoming. We do, as always, discuss the week in Herd Racing, including a return to standard HSRL scoring on Casse Pattes.
This week on the Pink Tron we look forward to a new series of HSRL, and back at each of our entries into the Herd Racing family and at some HSRL series' past. We also discuss the rest of the week in Herd Racing.
In honor of SD Worx unbelievable team tactics in the Tour de France Femmes Avec Zwift, we discuss how team tactics can go right or very very wrong in Zwift racing, and what tactical approaches annoy the hell out of us! We also discuss the week in Herd Racing, including a Tiny Race style HSRL this week.
This week the PT crew tries their hand at course design with the ZRL community designed race course in mind. We develop courses we'd like to see for Watopia, Makuri, Scotland, and France. Let us know what you'd like to race! Also, we discuss the week in Herd Racing, with a long HSRL race on Itza Party.
Sean, Stef, John and Brent (along with a racing Chris!) go through the week of Herd Racing. We follow up with a brief chat about the newly announced next season of Zwift Racing League and the courses that have been announced. (Note that none of us had seen the recent news about the community course selection!)
