With less than 24hours to go until the start of the tour, the countdown timers in SYSTM have been activated! Here is your final checklist: 1. If you haven’t already, register to ride with the Davis Phinney Foundation: [http://events.dpf.org/thewahooligantour](http://events.dpf.org/thewahooligantour) 2. Make sure the tour route is applied to your SYSTM calendar: [https://wahoosystm.com/CyclingTheWahooliganTour2026Route](https://wahoosystm.com/CyclingTheWahooliganTour2026Route) 3. Prepare your paincave (making it painful or unpainful is up to you). For the best experience on SYSTM we recommend downloading the videos. 4. Tell everyone you know you are riding and fundraise as much as possible for @TeamDPF 5. Have fun and enjoy the ride! Be sure to keep us updated on your post ride refuelling donut count 🍩 ![Screenshot 2026-02-27 at 10.02.10](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/thesufferfest/original/3X/0/5/056711d184bea31afcae012c8674ca4d723f0b2c.png) ---

All the countdown timers have the same starting time. Does that mean we can do it all in one day?😈 ---

Correct that is the change to this year, all stages will remain open for the duration of the tour to allow you more flexibility to complete the challenge! ---

Well I did see some talk on here about closing out this year’s tour with Kitchen sink… 😉 > [@2026 Tour Route](https://wahoox.forum.wahoofitness.com/t/2026-tour-route/30566/6): > > GvA, Sufferlandrians, Minions, … have you suffered today? I honestly think that a tour that started as the Tour of Sufferlandria should end as one, i.e. SUF videos only. and the most glorious Grand Finale imho can only be Kitchen Sink Honour Glory Victory and lots of joyful suffering IWBMATTKYT ---

I’m logistically sorted out. I’ve bribed the bees not to sting me and The Goat Suit is READY! Live stream link provided for a small $ contribution. @Heretic I will message you with it now. Somebody else also donated, just trying to work out who! ---

Does SYSTM first look for a downloaded file? How does this work for those of us who’ve never downloaded a workout? I’ll do Primers tomorrow for test purposes. My only pain cave prep has been to buy gummy bears and shammy creme. ---

Click on the video in your calendar. If there is a downloaded video what on your device, a check mark will show. Otherwise, you will see alittle icon with a download arrow encouraging you to download. Or, you could wing it and hope the stream has no jitters, but that never seems to work out for me even with fibre internet. ---

Thanks, I have several downloaded already. What I’m asking is whether I need to tell the app to use the downloaded file rather than stream. I have had no connection issues for a long, long, long time, but never say never. ---

You don’t get a choice. If you downloaded the video then that is what plays. If you don’t have the video downloaded then it streams. ---

Speaking of doing Kitchen Sink to close out the Tour as a Grand Finale on March 8th… would anyone be up for Suffering all together on a Zoom? ---

My plan is to do Kitchen Sink on March 7th as the end of Stage 7. And do it as part of that Saturday’s Knight Ride.
