The Pink Tron

Brent comes back from a Summer of Lacrosse (Summer of Malmo reference?) to chat with John, Stef and Craig about Double Espresso route in HSRL, Zwift maybe having fixed the longstanding custom-length race bug, JetBlack's indoor frame, and What on Earth is going on with Brent's ZRS?

Sean returns from being shackled to his desk to chat with Craig and John. HSRL on Innsbruckring is painful. ECRO is horrible. HBR is on Tick Tock again.

John, Stef & Craig discuss a very true to legacy HRSL points-based iTT first round of HSRL 26 round 3 and just how much it rewards reading the race description, how Queen's Highway is an outstanding Herd Beginner Racing route, ZRL changes, ECRO Chasing Red and more.

Craig, John, Steve & Stef chat about the HSRL series finale on Montmartre Mixer, and aren't sure whether to be excited or filled with dread. HBR is on Greater London Flat this week, vice London Flat last week. Is Greatest London Flat in the cards next week? Wait and find out. The crew is off for Cricket, Wiffleball, running and long outdoor rides coming up this weekend...

Craig, Stef & John discuss 10 laps of madness on Bell Lap with 2 FAL each lap for HSRL, London Flat for HBR, and roll our collective eyes at Zwift introducing another colourway for the Canyon Aeroad CFR - but it must be bought as another bike, and upgraded again...

After a debate over who's hosting, Steve, Stef & Craig talk about HSRL on Cobbled Crown, new madness from friend of the show James Bailey, and wonder just how big the error bars are on Zwift Insider's equipment test data...

In a special short chat, Marjolein, Stef and Steve catch up with HERD regular Craig Martin who is at the 2026 UCI BMX Racing World Championships in Brisbane, Australia. It's a long way from Canada as we discover! Here's the feed we mention during the chat: https://www.youtube.com/live/g3JU8Us_u9s?si=OIWC3PFJnZpiKHSC

Brent, Stef, Chris, John & Craig talk about HSRL on Peaky Pavé, which has too many segments, Zwift's newly released equipment, of which there's too much, and the upcoming new climb in the Paris world, which is taking too long...

HSRL is on Bologna TT, and Craig & Stef welcome Bill R to his first appearance on the pod.

Pink Tron returns after a short Hiatus with Craig, Chris, John & Stef discussing the final week of the first HSRL series of 2026 on the Ghostbusters-inspired Stay-Puft Pursuit. Peanut Butter Porter is a major talking point.

Your slightly delayed Pink Tron talks about the Queen's Highway HSRL, firmware updates to play controllers and how we kill time on longer rides on the trainer. Happy listening everyone!

Options abound for the HSRL Scratch Race on Yumezi Grit, Steve, John & Stef talk about their experiences on it. News is limited to a number of wheels and frames that are not the best, and then John grills Craig about his New England race trip.

Craig, Stef & John discuss Scotland Smash for HSRL, 2 Bridges Loop HBR and whether we should all be ignoring power and riding on RPE...

Steve, Stef, John & Chris, joined late by Craig & Brent, talk about all the new with Zwift, Herd Summer Racing League, and are underwhelmed by just how much Zwift's acquiring Rouvy is going to affect us (except maybe Stef)

Stef, John and Brent sit down to chat about the last weekend of No Spring Chickens racing, Herd Beginner Racing, some new updates to Zwift and our favourite (non-Herd!) Zwift kits. Let us know your favourites down in the comments!

Steve, John, Stef & Craig talk about the Yumezi Gravel circuit, DRS has announced another series, and some sad news.

Steve, John, Stef & Craig cover Zwift's new gravel initiative and just how precisely it's been implemented.

Steve, John and Brent sit down to chat about the No Spring Chickens and Herd Beginner Races this weekend, the big "This Season in Zwift" news drop and what we would do if we could set up the Zwift April Fool's gag. Thanks for listening!

Steve, Chris, Stef, John and Brent gather to discuss the first week of No Spring Chickens, this week's Herd Beginner Racing, an Omnium recap and What We've Been Zwifting. Stick around to find out what our picks would be if we could add Herd themed items to the Zwift Big Spin Spinners. Bonus content - find out why John has electrodes in his butt!

Chris and Craig talk first half of Omnium with 3 down, 3 to go, HBR on the same route as the Omnium TT, No Spring Chickens on the way and what outside Herd series we're doing at the moment.
