Timing the Month
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?

The Little Things
มุมมอง 1816 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา
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.
Post Omnium Tron - We are all so tired
มุมมอง 14วันที่ผ่านมา
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!

Great effort Dave, you had a great DS
Thanks Byron, lucky to ride with such a supportive club as The Herd and have access to some great DS' all with their own inimitable style! Sarah is know for flogging us and never letting us quit!
Great race mountain gorillas!
Great race all! Our perspective: th-cam.com/video/S9eIBP8UNfc/w-d-xo.html
Thanks! Was just too much for me to stick with the front.
Love me some Castle Crit! Great course for Ladder racing!
I see you got caught out by the double finish line, we thought you had a mechanical. Great race with you guys as always, will work on my fitness again next year and hopefully I can do something about these A graders that you front running teams are packing.
Wow, you guys are organised, DS and everything. At Aero we mostly use discord for cracking dirty jokes and sledging each other 😂 Good racing
😂😂😂 We do a fair amount of that after... if you guys didn't make us work so hard, maybe we'd have time in race too! Great racing this round though, I like the course choices 😀
I fully get why people consider weight doping (and reverse weight doping) but ultimately the reasons will become redundant with ZRS over time. Perhaps Zwift should consider races that apply a power multiplier to your actual figure to effectively adjust your w/kg towards a race target based of your current zFTP and weight. This should make for closer racing with events using this system as it should keep power more consistent across riders on the flats and w/kg on the climbs. It would also allow for A's to race with D's.
Thanks for posting race. What frame wheel combo do you think worked best for this race?
I went Pinarello + 7.8s and was happy with my choice.
Great work guys! Awesome win
I don't see how women's only ladder does anything positive. It will likely mean there is a much smaller league where it is hard to get races. There is nothing stopping people from making a women's only team and racing whatever teams they can.
I think you're underestimating the appeal of women's-only team competition to women who will not otherwise participate in racing. That was definitely the case when women's ZRL started in 2020, and I said similarly that there just weren't the racers. Bottom line - I think it's worth a try.
Great race Matt… loved the commentary and watching the race craft.
Good race mate. Some big 20 min averages from all tonight
Agree 💯. That course seems to give big average watts... particularly when some clown gives us anvils for the descents 🤣
That tactic on the volcano decent works very well. Pull away just before the descent so as the speed increases going downhill they need to put in massive watts to bridge.
Awesome! Way to go kookas!
How do you record your entire race? What app are you using?
I use OBS Studio. It's relatively easy to work out what to do as I was a complete novice at streaming when I first tried it.
How do you guys record your full race? What app are you using?
Use obs studio, generally.
Ohhhh back to Friday night coverage!
Great coverage Craig!
Tough ride
Are all the competitors riding peloton type bikes sims IRL?
I’m on a wahoo kickr bike.
@@doomguyzwifting Just wanted to know how bicycle sims work. I take it that you pedal at home and it's transferred to the sim
@@evilroman1sobieski756Yes, we all ride bikes connected to a smart trainer of some sort, which measures power and transfers that to the computer. That, combined with some other metrics, allows it to be converted into a speed. Everyone in that video is pedalling away at home on some sort of a bike.
Nice start, you guys clearly enjoyed being on the other side of this strategy 😘
Pretty sure we've used it every time out of those pens since we got caught out once with it... 😂
That looked far to easy, I think you need a better challenge. We should have a rematch!
Nice race Boyz... BTW my avatar may be female, but I am not. I really enjoyed the to and fro in that race, we worked hard punish your guys where we think we could, but couldn't touch your guy off the front. Great race and thanks to a flat battery you got the win. Look forward to another race sometime.
Was a lot more fun than I expected when I saw the course! Losing our strongest climber 2hrs before race time didn't help, but was definitely a lot of type 2 fun. You guys will be a great addition to Ladder, I suspect there'll be plenty of tough races between the 2 teams, happy to go again whenever works for you guys 😀 PS that start was thoroughly unnecessary! 🤣🤣
That start was an obvious choice given the data. When I jumped into the pen and looked at the data on all the riders present it was clear the potential to dump 2 riders off the line that would be good climbers was on the cards. That said the two sprint efforts I did to break things up hurt my climbing potential leaving me little legs left to chase at the end so in a way it worked in your favor. Likewise happy to race again, perhaps on a more typical course next time😁
Loved the music and graphics
Hey James! I'm at 27:22 and it's cool to see this!
This is so confusing. It’s like a video game but real life….? Virtual reality has officially blown my mind in how good it’s gotten
eRacing... humans on bikes as controllers... no buttons to bash, just pedals! 🥵
Always a fun race against you guys! A technical on the start line is always very frustrating when 5v5 too. I was trying to talk him into dropping from the front group at the start of lap 3 with no success! 🤣
Fun race guys. Thanks. D Gabb was very strong
What does the dead spot mean?
No draft even in the draft
Good stuff 😀
I found this to be a tough course but anything that goes up is tough for me 😂😂
As you can see by how fast I got dropped on Zwift KOM fwd, me too at this fitness level.
Fantastic racing guys well done thanks for sharing
👀👀
Great job Herd!!! Moooo
Great work Dave! I like to charge before a hill like this instance 38:47 and maintain the power until it gets flat again
Nice ride tonight guys! Always enjoy ZCL.
Congrats guys, thanks for the race, finally our choice of course next time!
Where did you get that image because that’s sick and really funny
It's at least partially AI - this podcast is dedicated to "The Herd" Zwift club's racing. The cow is because of the Herd, the Tron is the Zwift bike with glowing wheels, and Steve proved scientifically that the Pink Tron is fastest.
Well raced boys. It's a bit hard to hear your comms with the music at that level
Do we want you to hear our comms though Sam?
Mostly still images. Bandwidth issue?
I don't think it's a bandwidth issue, trying to debug. Current theory is it's hardware throttling of some sort as zwift drops from 60fps to 1fps and the stream drops to 1 image every few seconds... laptop is more than capable of running zwift at 60fps in 4k.
This is a great video about ZP. I've seen a few others, but none were as comprehensive. Thank you!
Thanks 🙏. Glad you found it useful.
Ride on!
Thanks! That was a tough one.
Well done boys, you worked us on that first climb
Good timing on your attack for the line honours! 💪
Brutal racing guys, 11 sprint back to back, think i need some new legs after that
Great riding with use guys, Bring on Glasgow crits.
P r o m o S M
Why did you almost come to a full stop before the second KOM?
I was messing around with ben - didn't want him to draft me up the KOM. It ended up costing him a place in the final standings.
Great route for this type of racing and super fun as always Mooo
Epic Race all, that was fantastic!
Well that race had it all!
Taco time
