Festivus and Zwift actually go together pretty well…
- Raise the aluminum pole (does an aluminum seat post count?)
- Serve a dinner (pre ride gel)
- Airing of the grievances (forums, or in game chat)
- Feats of strength (everything is always a race)

It’s been a long time since Seinfeld was on. Festivus might have upgraded to carbon!

Close fly-by of Santa today. For anyone wanting to see him, he’s following the same path as the orange, Zwift blimp over the ocean by the beach, north of the downtown section of Watopia.

I think he has actually just taken the place of the blimp for a bit, the same way the turkey did on Thanksgiving.

Santa has also been spotted in New York up above the glass roads.

Yeah, I was going to mention that - the digital asset for the blimp just gets replaced, seasonally. (turkey at thanksgiving, Santa for Christmas…)
I don’t think is an ‘Easter Eggs’, per se, but possibly interesting:
I have never tested this in any scientific manner, but it always appears to me that I can never catch the train in Fuego Flats. If I’m riding slowly, the train is also slow, but still faster than me. And if I’m riding fast the train moves more quickly, and also still faster than me.
Has anyone ever ‘caught the train’?

Funny you mention this. I have thought about it in the past and was thinking about it last night when riding w/Yumi. Unfortunately, I did not come to a conclusion
Never tried, perhaps get a group of 50 or more riders and put a full power sprint.
What about breaking the speed limit (uphill) on ADZ? 
I guess you could test that by turning into one of those 45kg ADZ pro-contract contenders and see if anything happens.

Or did they switch to steel? It seems that steel is in again for a lot of people. I just hope no one brings back wide wale corduroy.
Meep meep!
I did my first bona fide 2.6W/kg ride with C.Coco today, up from 1.5W/kg D.Diesel last winter and my usual 1.8W/kg D.Miguel this winter.
I fell back after 15.5km but not before being treated to a nice little Easter Egg: the road runner chased us across the desert. OH! And I got a bonus 250XP for crossing one of the arches! That never happens…
Happy New Year (hat)!

Another “shot” of the sea monster. This time it is sitting on one of the rocks locking at the riders.

NICE! She/he looks like a muppet in that shot.
Coming full circle, I was treated to another run with Velociraptors today and managed some better screencaps. (new Titans Grove KOM PR for me too)
Dovetailing into this thread: @andipaetzold, developer of ZwiftMap.com, just added a new feature: “Places,” which I’ve detailed here: Zwiftmap.com just had an update: "Places"
TL;DR: we can now submit locations of Easter Eggs and, once approved, they’ll show up on ZwiftMap.com. I’ve just added two myself: the Road Runner, and Velociraptor events.

I’m not sure the little velociraptor are Easter eggs - I see them every time I ride through that area.
Cute, sure. But an Easter egg, not so much.

Should the Lunar Light workout be listed in this thread? I found it for the first time today. Took me a minute or two to get it! Any more like that?
What’s special about it? I was able to find it pretty easily (or at least, without any more difficulty than any other workout).
Yeah. But have you done it?
I have not. Looks pretty erratic but not too tough, might give it a try tonight.
