The Pink Tron

Sean, John, Stef and Craig talk about Bologna as the prologue for this 8 week season of HSRL, and discuss overtraining when it turns out Craig's heart rate monitor wasn't malfunctioning!     

This week we chat about the newly announced ZRL Summer Showdown, how we balance cycling with other life pressures (hint: just lose your job and/or social obligations), a preview of the next round of HSRL, as well as the week in Herd Racing.

New marketing slogan for HSRL - 2 laps of Chain Chomper is actually more reasonable than it looks. Craig, John & Stef also discuss a pretty big HBR route, Intro to Racing group rides, and what we're doing for upgrades...

It's a Crit City - palooza in Herd Racing this weekend.   John, Brent, Sean, Craig and Stef also talk about how to integrate commuting with training and some other little things, plus women's only age-group racing in "the news"

First-timer on the Tron Nate Trachta talks Herd Beginner Racing and upcoming rides with Steve, Steph and Craig.

Brent, Sean, John, Steve, Stef & Craig talk HSRL, a new HBR course Climber's Gambit Challenge and stuff we'd like to put in the game.

Brent, Craig, Sean, Stef, Steve and John discuss HSRL, new roads in France, and inter-dimensional squirrels.

Marjolein gives the rest of us all the low-down on what's happening in Majorca with all the virtual riders there. Sean, Stef, Craig, & Marjolein discuss Herd Racing, imminent return of HSRL, What's new this season on Zwift dominates the News, and we run out of time before throwing it around the horn.

Brent, John, Steve and Stef discuss the week in Herd Racing, new data on upgrades, updates to ZRacing and the upcoming HSRL schedule.

Sean, John, Stef and Craig talk about HWR, HBR, Spring Chickens & Dirt Racing Series before getting down to brass tacks about all the bike changes in-game.

This week we talk about the week in Herd Racing, the upcoming changes to bike and wheel aerodynamics, and which of the Big Spin prizes we want to win.

There are so many things going on right now! Series galore! We discuss the week in Herd Racing, along with the newly announced fourth challenge and how we decide which of the many current series to prioritize in a given week.

We chat about the week in Herd Racing, including the Return of No Spring Chickens and a new monthly Stampede Challenge, as well as Pedal Games, The Big Spin (and the most important bike in the game), and our dream bikes to add to the game.

This week we chat about the week in Herd Racing, the Zwift Games (along with other upcoming series including Iceni, ECRO, and DRS), the potential for Zwift to bring results in house to Zwift.com, the Tron Power Stance, and ways that bikes bring us together.

This week we gather to talk the week in Herd Racing, before being sidetracked by TrainerRoad and the silliness(?) of riding with both a workout app and Zwift open concurrently, discussing this week's ZRL race and the rash of upgrades, and finishing with our Valentine's.

We discuss the week in Herd Racing, as well as the new Herd kits, one of the hosts hitting level 100, the Dirt Racing Series, and some training tips to prevent stagnation (and whether that should even be the goal).

We discuss the newly trimmed down week in Herd Racing, including the new monthly Stampede Challenge, as well as bouncing around some ideas of things we'd like to be shown in game, on the Zwift website, or even in the companion app. Bike computer replacement in the companion app anyone?

Taking a breath after the Omnium, we get back to our old routine of talking through 1) the week in Herd Racing, which this week focuses on Herd Winter Racing and Herd Beginner Racing, 2) some Zwift news, including some chat about the silly (to be kind) looking Elite Square, and 3) a discussion of which silly little things would be on our Zwift wishlists.

Steve, Craig, Stef and Brent do a quick recap of the Herd Omnium 2025. Some whining, some laughing, some cake. And all of us very, very tired. Let us all know how your omnium experience went in the comments!

We do a deep dive on the weekend's Omnium, including race by race analysis and overall planning, pacing, and recovery advice. Who else is ready to rumble?

The Herd Omnium 2025 is coming the weekend of Jan 18-19, and the Pink Tron crew is excited. We talk through the silliness that awaits. Go sign up. Do it. Now! :) We also discuss changes to pack dynamics, route time estimation, and the week in Herd Racing.

We review the outgoing year, highlighting our favorite Zwift developments from 2024 before going through our annual zResolutions.

This one kind of got away from us. This was probably the first time that we were googling movie releases during the episode, and definitely the first one where Brent gave his thoughts on the Rings of Power show. This was our popcorn peloton show. We also talked about how the Festive 500 is going, and whether anybody got any good cycling gifts for the holidays.

We get together to chat about the week in Herd Racing, updates to the ZRS bands, and our annual Zwiftmas Zwishlists.

The crew gets together to chat about the week in Herd Racing, including a Herd rider's race course in the WTRL course competition, the impending cull of zombie races which will affect many of the Herd Racing time slots, and a cheeky discussion of weight doping for fun (verdict: don't do it, please!)
