The Pink Tron

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.

Additionally, we chat about the week in Herd Racing, including this week's scratch race on the relatively new Glyph Heights route.

Coming back after a layoff can be daunting, especially if you feel like you've lost considerable fitness due to illness, vacation, or simply inactivity. We discuss some of the right ways and wrong ways to get back to it, although Brent's wrong ay seems to have been especially effective. We also, as always, discuss the week in Herd Racing.

This week Nate, Steve and Brent chat about the week in Herd Racing including week 1 in both the new series of Stampede and HSRL.
