Nowhere Fast: A Virtual Bike Racing Podcast

Remember when that guy used a bot to get the Tron bike for a race and it was the biggest cheating in the history of cheating? Ethics in gear acquisition is back in the news thanks to the new Zwift bike upgrades. Is it cheating to run Zwift with a heart rate monitor app while you're mowing the lawn? What if you hook up a Nintendo controller and mash the A and B buttons? We discuss.  Also, the World's Most Dangerous Group Ride, memories of the time they had a crit at the CrossFit Games, and of course, cheating.  Nowhere Fast is a member of the Wide Angle Podium network.

You've heard our Watt King of the Week segment, but what if one of us ... became the Watt King? Mike made a bunch of people mad with his patented coffee stop and then potentially started an international incident. Kevin tried a Peloton ride, to hilarious effect.  And is Zwift dead? Is this the end of Nowhere Fast?   Nowhere Fast is a member of the Wide Angle Podium network.

It's the virtual bike racing / basketball crossover episode you didn't know you needed. Former virtual racing National Champion Mason Rocca returns to talk about his switch from RGT to Zwift, racing the ERL on MyWoosh, and watching his sons ball out for their high school team this winter.  We also learned that this week's Watt King of the Week is coming from inside the house.  Nowhere Fast is a member of the Wide Angle Podium network.

Welcome to the Thunderdome of Zwift. Kevin and Mike dreamed about the stupidest race on Zwift and then made it a reality. Half the field got sent up a mountain, the other half got sent downhill to do 92 laps in the toilet bowl. And Kevin got the win.  We also talk about our Wattkings of the Week, debate whether or not Wattkings have ruined Cat A Zwift racing, and learn about the advantages of steering, even if it doesn't really work.  Nowhere Fast is a member of the Wide Angle Podium network.
