Welcome to the Virtual Velo Podcast powered by The Zommunique‘.  We are exercise and nutrition scientists, physical therapists,  performance coaches, but most of all, we are passionate about cycling and immersed in the virtual community. 

Our goal is to help you become a more informed cyclist, one inspired, challenged, and invigorated by a deeper understanding and appreciation of honest insight, innovative research and ideas, and culture within the virtual cycling and esports community.

Take a conversational ride with us as we bridge the gap between athlete and avatar.

Ken "The Badger" Nowell

Ken Nowell VVP image

I’m an avid amateur indoor cyclist and rad mountain biker that loves to compete but not at the expense of quality of life and having fun. I’ve had the good fortune of being the co-founder of DIRT: Dads Inside Riding Trainers, the world’s largest Zwift team, and through this, I have made friends worldwide that I train with and compete against. While I am no longer actively coaching, I spent many years as a CF-L1 CrossFit Instructor and National Interscholastic Cycling Association (NICA) Level 3 Coach. I’m currently the host of several cycling podcasts and an occasional contributing writer to The Zommunique. I also have a loving wife and daughter, a job, and went to college.

I’ll see you in Watopia! Ride On!
