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.

Bjoern Ossenbrink's eyes *clap clap* are watching you, they see your every move. Well, kind of, but he does use data analytics to verify virtual racing performances at the high levels of the sport. He joins the pod to talk about the low-cadence craze, power meters and smart trainers, and that one time he raced against KBH. We also try to determine if CrossFit is the Zwift of working out.

You know the drill. The first rule of MyWhoosh Club is ... don't talk about MyWhoosh Club. Big money is on the line in the upcoming race series from the upstart virtual racing platform.
