Welcome to Sufferlandria

The Sufferfest started out with a series of videos that delved deep into the darker humor of the “pain cave.” When you pressed Play on one of their videos - with titles such as “A Very Dark Place”, “Downward Spiral”, or “Fight Club” - you put yourself in a world where suffering is good - better known as Sufferlandria. The Sufferfest built a Pain Cave culture. And then they built an app. We're going to have a look at it now.

Zwift Routes: Oh, the Places you’ll Go!

(Updated 5/5/2020) One of the fun aspects of a game-like application like Zwift is that you are not bound to the constraints of the real world. In their efforts to enhance our indoor training experience, the Zwift team has been increasing the number of worlds and routes dramatically. Remember when it was just one route around Watopia, and you couldn’t even do U-turns? We do. Zwift has come a long way since then, currently including a total of 6 worlds with 67 routes available for free riding or running. We’ve compiled a list of the different worlds and created galleries containing maps of all the routes in Zwift. You can start to explore Zwift here, and we'll even show you a fun hack to let you ride any world you want, whenever you want!
