Episode 201:The Zwiftcast Is Back! What Did We Miss?

After a very long coffee stop, the Zwiftcast returns to resume the familiar mix of Zwifty chat and gossip. Simon, Shane and Nathan are joined by friend of the pod, Eric Schlange of Zwift Insider and special guest Dave Towle.
Quite a lot happened in Watopia and the wider Zwift world over the last two years or so. Simon picks out the big stuff and we put those through the Zwiftcast grinder.
There's a great chat with Olympian cyclist and now highly rated coach, Kristan Armstrong on how to get the best out of the new feature on Zwift, The Grade.
Simon spends a few minutes explaining why the pod went away, why it's come back and where it's going next.
And we conclude with a look at the competitive scene on Zwift with the long called for retirement of Zee Power in Zwift-owned racing events as well as the curious appeal of a Beat The Bots ride.
Welcome back Listeners!

Thrilled to have the Zwiftcast back and I was so excited to see it on RUclips expecting to “see” the Casters. Alas, no video but glad just to hear those knowledgeable voices again.

Elite racing requires two power meters. An 11spd crank can use a crank power meter.

But how do I turn? And do they make shoes for biking yet?
