Our latest episode focuses on “This Season on Zwift“, this week’s announcement from Zwift about what they have planned for the next few months. We’re joined by Ryan Condon, who offers his totally unprepared reactions to each TSOZ topic before we dive in for a deeper take:
- Zwift Ride V2
- Watopia Expansion
- Watt Lock
- Zwift Racing and ZRL Changes
- Companion App Refresh, New Bikes, and (maybe) Purchaseable Paint Schemes
We also dive into a recent GCN video that revealed aggregated stats pulled from analyzing millions of power data points from Zwifters’ last 12 months of personal bests. Is the data even useful? What else could Zwift do with it? There are many possibilities in a world of big training data…
And that’s a wrap. Thanks for listening! Leave a review if the show is landing for you, and share us with your cycling friends. Word of mouth is how independent podcasts grow.

This is just an early episode of what we hope is a long-running and useful community Zwift podcast. Share your thoughts below. We’re listening!
Hey Eric!
First of all, great job! I’m relatively new to Zwift and really appreciate the effort put into this site—there’s a huge amount of excellent content.
But regarding the question about Rouvy 4.7 and cross progression from Gui on another post: is there any news about integration between Rouvy and Zwift? I know—and have tried it myself—that Zwift rides show up in Rouvy, but what about the other way around?
It’ll work the other way too, eventually. My guess is we’ll see it in the next couple of months.
What I’d like to see is an option to add a second rider / avatar to your profile. So being able to experience being level 1 again without having to create a new profile and paying a 2nd membership
Great episode! Any idea if Watt Lock will deactivate a Kickr Climb or other gradient simulator when engaged?
My guess is that it would. But I don’t know!
I enjoyed the chat through the new features. In particular, you helped me understand some nice use cases for Watt Lock.
Great episode. A bit of a weird editing moment when Shane started discussing the Zwift Ride v2 but that doesn’t take away from a really interesting discussion. Enjoy listening to these!
