WARNING: Josh's Brakes open the show - you'll hear it.
Welcome to Watopian Weekly! This week Josh and Dustin recorded side by side from a very noisy campsite in Ludington, Michigan! Josh and Dustin cover many topics from what it's like riding in person with someone that you've known for years but never met, doing a century (100 miles!), the essence of community, how to fall over gracefully and so much more!
Josh and Dustin recorded this at the Summer Coalition Meet Up. You'll hear lots of ambient sounds so best to listen with headphones! You'll feel like you were part of the circle when we recorded it. Special thanks to Leanne, Jean, Diane, Shannon, Ashleigh, and Josh! This was so much fun to record live! Let us know if you like this and we'll try to do some more!

Watopian Weekly Season 4 Episode 17 Climbing Special with Matt L. Triple vEverester!
This week Josh and Dustin get a chance to talk with Matt Ladd. He has done many incredible feats on Zwift. He’s climbed essentially every climb on Zwift (at 125% difficulty if possible). This episode is about his triple Everesting. So many topics were covered from bike/trainer set up, to food, to how you need support, to even more food and so much more. We had an absolute blast talking with Matt and appreciate him taking time off his bike to talk to us. What an inspiration! Thank you, Matt!
