Hey. You know who Zwift are. Well, they’ve now got US$120m to invest after an injection of funds from Highland Europe (of eGym fame); True (a Ribble backer); Novator; and Causeway Media, the latter of whom back eSports companies. And that is what the investment is for. A super-huge $120m push into eSports and Running.…
Zwift World 5 is set in 2118 with suspended glass cycleways zipping through the Manhattan skyline. Yes you can now cycle through CENTRAL PARK and there is a 9.7km route which also takes in The Guggenheim, The Met, the El Dorado Hotel and Tavern on the Green over a pretty flat route. Don’t worry there…
MilestonePOD bought by ZWIFT. Long live the Zwift POD?
My bike build is finally complete as I recently got the E-tube bluetooth/ANT+ bits fitted to add some much ‘needed’ connectivity to my cycling world. I also finally got around to having a bike fit after n+1 years. Where ‘n’ was ‘too long’. I’ve since had hours of fun with the Ultegra shifters and Di2.…

NEW STRYD RUNNING POD

For half of the price of their power-based platform (which is also Zwift-compatible), the Stryd Live complements the new…
Many of us will soon (Feb) find out if we have secured an elusive place on the Pru Ride London (28-29 July 2018) and I’m also considering the Tour de Yorkshire (3-6 May 2018) earlier in the year, as one of my main events. I certainly need something to get my cycling mojo back on…
Last weekend’s ZWIFT update was fairly significant, placing a minimap, with 3 toggled views, in the top right hand corner. It’s a small-scale map to let you know where fellow riders are and other icons such as timing arches. The action bar on iOS has also now been ported across to Windows and MAC versions and…
The Zwift Alternative?!? I’ve been reading too many Jason Bourne novels. I managed to get a place for the very first Prudential Ride London but have failed miserably since. That’s me and lots of other people. Fear Not Fellow Cyclists…There is a solution. And it lies, lurking menacingly in your shed. Of course along with…
