The Pink Tron

People now say that 3 laps of Chain Chomper is worse than 10 laps of hilly. I blame recency bias, but I haven't done the race yet. We talk about this weekend's HSRL with Chris and James having already done the race, Zwift nerfing the new Cervelo road bike (but it's still the best!) and how much we're all loving the Herd Club Championship so far.

Hey - it's a special pod (recorded earlier) covering the Herd Club Championships. Now because I was asked "Why are you doing podcasts, again?!" by the good lady indoors, I haven't had the time to find a bit where I ask Craig to repeat himself. I hope you don't hold it against me... Thanks, as ever, to Gavin for the theme tune!

This week, on the Pink Tron: Why does James think that three laps on London Loop is a good idea? Why does Zwift think that nerfed bikes are a good idea?, and: Why do Craig and Steve think an ITT round Innsbruck UCI actually IS a good idea? Thanks, as ever, to Gavin for the theme tune.

Join one tired Brit, a drunk Brit, a semi-competent Canadian, and - heads to Facebook to see where Chris is from - someone from Connecticut as we discuss Zwift racing, and in particular the events hosting by the Herd Racing League. What evil or stupid things has James done been this week? How long will we take to let Craig actually speak? and, after a long day at the beach; Will Steve actually make any sense? Thanks, as ever, to Gavin for the theme tune!

Brent and Chris join James & Craig for a second week in a row. We preview the Herd Summer Racing League on Casse Pattes for this weekend, talk about ZRL, Autocat, Stampede, and other, unrelated topics. Steve will be upset to find out that we actually supported a bike swap strategy without him.

Join Craig and James, with special guests Brent and Chris, (while Becca and Steve decide they have 'friends' and 'better things to do') as they discuss all things Zwift Racing, and in particular the Herd Racing League. Who won the epic battle between Brent and Chris in tonight's HSRL Race 1, and who will win the equally epic battle between Brent and James in the Stampede? What drinks are everyone consuming tonight? And, most importantly, why are you still listening to this rubbish? Thanks, as ever, to Gavin for the theme tune!

This week, it's only Steve and Craig, but at least Craig has his sound on. As ever, we discuss all things Zwift Racing, and in particularly the event put on by the Herd Racing League. We're quite nice about James Bailey, except when we're not, and we're definitely rude about Becca and Shawn. Thanks, as ever, to Gavin for our theme tune!

Join three drunk Brits, a semi-competent Canadian, and a highly-competent Brit living in Canada, as we discuss all things Zwift Racing, and in particular, the HERD Racing League. We're joined by special guest Martin Carew, from WTRL, who talks to us about the TTT, the Zwift Racing League, and an exciting partnership with the HERD. For the new Stampede reporting pages James mentions, visit: www.wtrl.racing/herd-stampede/ Thanks as ever to Gavin for the theme tune!

Join one sunburnt Brit, one drunk Brit and one holidaying Canadian, as we discuss all things Zwift racing, and in particular, the Herd Racing League events. This week in the Herd Summer Racing League, it's all about the climbs, as we tackle Hilly, Epic, and the Volcano in the Three Sisters route. Also, trawling the Facebook pages this week brings us onto a discussion about descending. We talk a lot, and say very little (plus ca change) - and if we help you get better at descending, that's purely an accident. Thanks as ever to Gavin Ions for our theme tune! More about the Herd: http://theherd.club/

Join one quite drunk Brit, one mildly drunk Brit, a tea-total Brit and a semi-competent Canadian, as we discuss all things Zwift Racing, and in particularly the Herd Summer Racing League. This week, aside from discussing where the New Brunswick ham comes from, we discuss the HERD Sheries, and Zwift's new 'Autocat' function. Also, my cat makes an appearance. Thanks, as ever, to Gavin Ions for our theme tune.

This week, one newly married (and quite drunk) Brit, join a tired sober Brit, and another slightly drunk Brit, sans Canadian, to discuss all thing Zwift Racing, and in particular, the Herd Racing League. Thanks as ever to Gavin for our theme tune!

This week we're down a Steve due to a bad case of matrimony, and a Becca due to mysterious circumstances - so Craig and James talk to Shawn McAfee of DIRT about DIRT & HERD history, and various race series. James continues to float his insane idea for the Herd Club Championship multi-stage event, and we have nothing that has annoyed us. Best wishes to Steve on his wedding day!

This week, one very tired Brit, one idiot on a bike, an idiot who designed a stupidly long Zwift event, and a semi-competent Canadian get together to discuss all things Zwift, and in particular, the final race in the Herd Summer Racing League (Season 1 anyway)... Hear Steve dying on a bike, and James feeling all rather smug about it. Thanks as ever, to Gavin for the theme tune! If you want to join the Herd Racing League, we're here: www.facebook.com/groups/zHerdRacing

This week we're down to one sniffling Brit, and a semi-competent Canadian, as Becca and James fail to get into the pod grupetto and miss the time cut off. Don't worry though, they'll be back next week! As normal, we discuss all things Zwift racing, including training tips, fuelling and hydrating on longer rides, and riding with hay fever - and in particular how these all work around the Herd Racing League. Let us know what you think by joining us on the Facebook page: www.facebook.com/groups/zHerdRacing Thanks, as ever, to Gavin for our theme tune!

Once again, three drunk (and one rather echoey) Brits and a semi-competent Canadian, sit down to discuss Zwift racing, and in particularly the Herd Racing League. This week HSRL takes on London Classique, which to be perfectly honest, isn't the *most* technical of courses... We also preview the ZRL playoffs, which feature several HERD teams. You can watch the playoffs, on Youtube: Saturday: https://youtu.be/OI5NxqUQH8k Sunday: https://youtu.be/Wt0vuupCd4A Finally, apologies to your ears, and Gavin Ions... No work this week meant I recorded on a laptop so my sound is really bad, and I don't have the intro music files :(

Join three drunk Brits, and a decreasingly competent Canadian, as we discuss all things Zwift Racing, and in particular, the Herd Racing League. This week, we (as usual) preview the Herd Summer Racing League course, discuss the ZRL finale, and in a new exciting segment, talk about the Herd's women-only Zwift race - the SHE-ries, which this week is Bologna ITT. Thanks as ever to Gavin Ions for our theme tune!

Join three drunk Brits, and a semi-competent Canadian, as we discuss all things Zwift racing, and in particular, the Herd Summer Racing League. This week, we also preview the upcoming HERd SHEries, a women only racing event from the Herd Racing League. Also, we (Steve) makes lots of bad Aladdin puns, as we discuss A WHOLE NEW WORLD in Zwift. James has ridden all of the new routes - check out his videos! https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLYc427LePpYNDNdmCKJ10DeJF0h4PwX0- Thanks, as ever, to Gavin Ions for our theme tune.

This week we change things up, as its two really tired Brits, one who's still slightly drunk, and a frankly high Canadian, who discuss Zwift racing, and in particular the Herd Summer Racing League. Join us for some tips and tricks as we consider 'Out and Back Again' and probably speak the most nonsense since we randomly shouted animal names at Innsbruck... We're also joined by Nate Holme, to find out more about his journey to the HERD. Thanks again to Gavin for the theme tune!

This week, we're still in Watopia, as the HSRL takes on Figure 8. Join three drunk Brits, and a semi-competent Canadian, as we discuss Zwift, and in particular, the Herd Racing League. This week's special guest - Clare Spencer - tells us all about the cool female riders in the HERD, and some of the great team events they're taking part in. Thanks again to Gavin for the theme tune!

Oh my god, we're back again. That's right, we're going to bring the flavour, and show you how to ride this week's HSRL course. Are we original? No. We're three semi-drunk Brits, and one semi-clothed Canadian, who talk all things Zwift, and in particular, the Herd Summer Racing League. Week 5 sees us head to the desert, where apparently there is a train. And that's it. Thanks, as ever, to Gavin for our wonderful theme tune.

Now 200 of you have listened, and frankly, I worry for all of you. This week, join one drunk Brit, two very tired Brits and an increasingly-competent Canadian, as we talk all things Zwift racing and in particular, the Herd Summer Racing League. Week 4 sees us move from Paris to France, and stay tuned to hear about the real beginnings of the HERD, with one of the founders, Marius Midtskogen. Thanks to Gavin Ions for our wonderful theme tune.

So far, 100 of you have decided to listen, so, we're back. Join three drunk Brits, and a semi-competent Canadian, as we talk all things Zwift racing and in particular, the Herd Summer Racing League. Week 3 brings us to Paris - and Craig has a dastardly plan in store. Plus, we hear from HERD regular Lord Orange about his time on (and away from) Zwift. Let us know what you think! Thanks to Gavin Ions for our wonderful theme tune.

Well, we've made another one. Join three drunk Brits, and a semi-competent Canadian, as we talk all things Zwift racing and in particular, the Herd Summer Racing League. This week - we've only gone and got a bloody theme tune! Thanks to Gavin Ions. James has set us a fresh hell - all 70km of Big Foot Hills. How early does Steve think he'll get dropped? What does Craig mean when he says 'HTP!'? And will Becca even bother...

Normally, we'd be three drunk brits and a semi-competent Canadian waffling on a livestream about the Herd Racing League. Since Herd DS (and all round nice guy) James Bailey has now decided on some frankly ridiculously long rides, we thought we'd avoid those long sessions, and instead condense our chats down to a weekly pod. Let us know what you think!
