New roads on Watopia. Always good news. Would like to have seen a northern connector road between the coastal road and the bypass road (see 1.01 top right). That'd give a whole new range of flat and hilly loops.
My wife, who has almost zero interest in Zwift, but loves llamas, was suitably impressed with the start of this video. Maybe I can finally be allowed to move my turbo upstairs...
@@gplama People do love their PRs a little too much... If they'd done this the other way around (i.e. increase speeds from before), people would probably love it 😛
I updated this morning and then tried to ride Coastal Crown. The route was totally broken. It started me at the wrong place and sent me in the wrong direction. I went along the coast and out through the desert. I re-entered the route several times with the same issue. I hope this is just me and Zwift haven’t released something with bugs in it! They wouldn’t do that would they? Lol!
I can't imagine standing up for that amount of time. That is just torture if your RPM is low enough that you have to do that. Luckily my gearing is doable for that. Depending on how you look at it, what you can do is right before it adjust your trainer difficulty down right before the section in the menu. You can think of it as shifting all your gears down one and still allow you to pedal at an RPM to complete it.
So i think i screwed it up. For reference i have the zwift one hub. I didnt have virtual shifting enabled so i was in gear 15 for the whole thing. I could only make it 4 segments before i was dead in the water. So...i was supposed to be shifting, wasnt i?
I cancelled our two zwift accounts when they raised the price a month or so ago. Just couldn't justify $40 per month for it any longer during months that we can ride outside. Not sure if I will pick it back up again in the winter or not.
Question. I completed the bag that badge challenge but did not get the route badge for Queen Highway After Party route badge.Are you aware of any problems with this issue? Thanks for your time.
@@gplama - Writing seems on the wall- the felt MyWhoosh expenses for the owner are nothing compared to felt operating expenses for the owners of Zwift. Sadly, just more Sport Washing with a seemingly bottomless budget to cull the competition.
That's fine... but it seems Zwift doesn't really see the big picture. The app has basically not evolved in the past 5 years. Actually, I would say it's getting worse. The graphic are still so catastrophic. If you intend to race at an A level, be ready to have to race again people that are better than the best world tour riders. Numerous times have I seen guys that can push (according to ZwiftPower) more than 7w/kg for 20 minutes. I've notified this of Zwift for months. Nothing changes. It's possible that normal riding around is better than it used to be. But regarding racing, it's ridiculous (I race at Conti / Pro Conti level). I can assure you that cheating in Zwift is rampant and Zwift does nothing about it. As soon as there will be a serious competitor, Zwift will either have to keep up or die. They just benefit from the fact that the competitors aren't any good
@@Justnothankyou132 Exactly- imagine paying £4.50 a week here in the UK for something I'll use for 10-12 hours a week....very good value, losers pay more than that for a pint of the devils piss....
3 days rollout its the most stupid thing ever... just make it available to all at the same time... why the heck have to wait 2 days more than other users...
@@andrehufschmid the only thing I care about is for people to know that there are free apps if they are looking for new routes :-) Indivelo, VirtuPro, Mywhoosh , or GTA5bike. Take your pick.
I don't pay for Zwift right now but staggered release keeps their bandwidth costs down. TBH I'd rather they do things like that and survive rather than collapse.
How do they decide who gets it first? Level achieved? Time subscribed? Regional status?Yeah I'm going away tomorrow afternoon and wouldn't mind trying Elevation Evaluation before but that's not gonna happen....
@@ArdGeal total speculation but sometimes the easiest answers are right - they have not bothered coding up any such prioritisation system and it's random.
@@specialblorb How do you know, do you work for Zwift? And Zwift is not Apple, nowhere close. Currently 7700 people online, why not let the people down load the update when they sign in? It will be phased out anyway, why limit the people that ride daily on Zwift. This is just absolutely shitty move on Zwifts end. Point.
I can’t say I’m that bothered. I just logged in for a ride, it wasn’t there, I did climb portal instead. I’ve seen so many new routes over my last 7 years on zwift I don’t get excited any more
Can't wait to try out all these new features in 5 months when winter hits 🙂
Still here in freezing UK!🥶
Literally about to say the same thing 😂 but as said below I don't feel like summer has arrived in the uk as yet 🥶
@@CycleXplorer We had it for a weekend in May.
Mid June in the Scottish Highlands and 9c, rain and northerlies...I did Ven-Top a few days ago!!
That was summer 2024 😂
Thank God they didn’t change the music. That shit is bumpin.
Wow! Great update and changes to the world. I love how they go back and refine what they already have. Looks fantastic. Thanks for the summary!
About time Lamas were in game!
So Zwift accepted the fact everyone calls it the Radio Tower. :D Does the turn still say "Bonus Climb"?
@DarenC hi i am new to zwift can you help me ?

Fantatic that they are getting on with building out Watopia again. Always worth doing instead of different worlds.
GPSheepy already had sheep in game. He needs to let GPLama have his moment!
I love that there’s llamas
YAY! LAMAS! 😊❤
As summer hasn’t started in the UK I suspect we will be out on the new routes sooner rather than later. As always, thanks for the insight
Here in the Highlands we only have 2 seasons- 9 months winter and 3 months Sprautumn.... might sell my IRL bikes it's a joke!!
Your videos are always informative and entertaining, Shane! And are you sure those aren’t alpacas they added? Just messing with you, Lama. Ride on!
One of the many things to be discussed on the returning Zwift Cast!!! Bravo!!!
Llama Llama, Red Pajama
Would like to see a sim of all the spring classics climbs
Eagerly awaiting this route to come to the UK. CONSTANTLY trying to update my Zwift client to 1.67. C'mon Zwift. Give me The Grade! :D
Isn't it summer in the UK? 😉
@@gplama "Theoretically" :)
@@gplama No! That was last week 🤣
@@gplama😅signed up to 3 TT’s this year, 2 cancelled for rain 🌧️
UK very wet this year.
Plus epic area road from either direction and top of grade is snow/ tarmac now so slower then before.
So I hear… after this rolled out. Interesting to see people unhappy with this. Zwift speeds seem artificially high as they are.’
@@gplama People do love their PRs a little too much... If they'd done this the other way around (i.e. increase speeds from before), people would probably love it 😛
Cool. Thank god summer sucks so far so its ok to ride indoors;)
Same here my Florida summers are now my winter . Will come outside mid October .
Are you sure they aren't Alpacas? LOL. Looking forward to the new routes.
The update never hits my PC until the day after release, even if I run a manual "update check" - is there any way to force the update?

The Radio Tower climb is my least favorite bit of road in all of Zwift. My gearing isn't easy enough to let me not have to stand the entire time.
I have a love hate with that road
Erg?

34/28 on 50% TD got me up it at 230w output....
It’s horrible, but better than riding New York
I want the new HUD
I want you to build that bike and wear that kit please😅😅
did you say Lamas?
Any chance you know if there is a way to show current gear in zwift using a Kick bike V2?
Not possible at this point.
So i think i screwed it up. For reference i have the zwift one hub. I didnt have virtual shifting enabled so i was in gear 15 for the whole thing. I could only make it 4 segments before i was dead in the water. So...i was supposed to be shifting, wasnt i?
is there another announcement due tomorrow (June 12th) as per previous teaser trailer or is this all one and the same?
Stay tuned! There will be another announcement tomorrow!
great, looking forward to it 👍
I performed the update...when can I expect to see the 8 new routes appear in my WATOPIA lineup?
Thank you! (USA)
No download here.
llamas.
Snowman, because sort of 3 loops on top each other, just like a classic snowman?
That’s what I thought too 😊

Give IndieVelo a try, that's where I settled after leaving Zwift. The physics is better, and it's free.
@@MiataBRG thanks i will take a look at it.
They're alpacas.
The little ones could pass as sheep! 🐑😂
Question. I completed the bag that badge challenge but did not get the route badge for Queen Highway After Party route badge.Are you aware of any problems with this issue? Thanks for your time.
One for Zwift Support.
So they made the roads at the top slower now. 🙄 What a great idea, probably the same person that slowed the jungle loop.
I can’t wait for them to add wind in game. It’ll cause a fucking riot for people and segment times.
I hope they don't think shoving a few llamas in the game will make you wax lyrical about everything without question 😂
You’re right. They’ve llamawashed Watopia to hide the fact they killed all the squirrels.🐿️
Big update and Llamas? Didn't find Llamas, but I found the cats chasing flies/bugs.
I see 11 new badges/routes after the update
There’s a few event only routes/badges.
@@gplama Ahh I see. Too bad they havent updated the companion app yet, so I cant make an event with the new routes.
Where's the workout API?!
Keen to see that land soon!
Man those LAMAS look mean BIG FOOT and YETI looks friendly LAMAS look CRAZZY and the hate cyclist..
I’m slow and therefore hate climbing cause it takes forever 😫
Jepp,me too, i miss Long and Flat Routes
Price rises for Llamas 🦙 ?
Those llamas don't just stand around eating grass for free! 🤣
Lol
When does the new HUD rollout?
Still waiting on that one…
They do seem to have very messed up priorities. Llamas are good but actually updating the UI so it’s visible would seem to be a more useful update
33% nah, the straw that broke the llama's back
They can stick it £20!
Will you be doing MyWhoosh updates seems everyone is jumping ship from Zwift?
No plans at this point. For quite a few reasons.
Aren't they Alpacas and not llamas?
Any video coming for MyWhoosh 3.7.0 update?
Giving status/progress credit when moving platforms is an interesting move.

Would've made so much sense to include the elevation graph GUI update with a climb heavy extension but it's Zwift so we're not getting it. :(

Chill. Maybe get a life
probably in case there is an issue or something - easier to rollback
Ahahah, is there still somebody caring about Zwift? Stopped last month with fee rise, not coming back.
Nice for you and obviously you do or else why comment at all lol. Good Bye.
The only reason you're here is because no one cares about you

A Phased out release is absolutely not acceptable. We all pay for Zwift and i don't care if its just a day or 10 seconds. Not acceptable.
