Zwiftcast Episode 103: It’s all about the new things! Zwift Bike, Home Screen, Clubs and maybe Peak Zwift?

In a packed and busy episode, the emphasis for the Zwiftcasters in the New Year is very much on new things.

Will we hit a new Peak Zwift, beating last year’s over 49,000 concurrent riders? Simon, Shane and Nathan enter their guesses.

The new Zwift Bike was announced, well leaked, by Zwift in a strange way over the holidays. The Zwiftcasters discuss this, but more importantly, the features we now know about. They are excited.

There is a new Home Screen coming to Zwift, but contain your excitement because it’s a slow rollout. The Zwiftcasters have had a preview and they very much like what they’ve been playing with.

There is brand new functionality coming to Clubs and the podcasters reckon it will be a huge development as the community gets new – and simple – ways to organise their own events.

Elsewhere Simon talks to Mike Hanney about the new Zwiftalizer, the invaluable tool for diagnosing connection and other issues for Zwifters.

And there is a new set of tests scheduled to start the long-awaited clampdown on the sandbaggers.

Along the way Simon, Shane and Nathan find more Zwiftiness to explore and debate.

It’s a long one – you’re gonna need a bigger pot of chamois cream! We hope you enjoy listening.

Simon used to live in Yorkshire, but now he spends much of his time in the cycling paradise of Girona and the surrounding area, in Catalonia, Spain. In a previous life he was a journalist and TV producer, spending a career both in front of, but much longer behind, a camera and a microphone. After signing up as User No 10 at Zwift, Simon conjured up the first ever video review of the upstart new platform and later wondered if there was enough going on in Watopia to interest an audience. One hundred episodes and 1.2 million podcast downloads later, he had an answer. Now a little longer in the tooth and stiffer of limb than he used to be, Simon is still pretty much at his happiest in the saddle.
