NEVER trust the minions with time! I learned that waaaay back in the before times.
Hope springs eternal.
Not. Funny.
Funny? It would be proper suffering!
Here’s hoping!
Especially if they have a revolver.
an old Sufferlandrian tradition
I will till make a make a donation but sorry @Glen.Coutts the motivation to do this during a week of good weather here in Australia is just not there as there was for a ToS.
I had no problems with the move from Bleeding Eyes to the Lazer Goat (although I am keeping my flag) and loved the way they expanded the app around the Sufferfest, but this is just a sign that they want the brand to die.
It won’t make the app any less good but it will take away what made it special. The silliness of the videos got me through more hard sessions, on the bike when I just wanted to go back to sleep and to be honest without it just makes Systm a more expensive version of TrainierRoad.
Oh, I hear you Sir! While I wouldn’t compare SYSTM or WahooX to TR, if I had good weather, at THAT time of year, you can be sure I’d be outside too!!
A good friend and fellow Knight, has taken to recreating the ToS rides and completed them all OUTDOORS (in the 50 hour window) where the weather was good. She is planning to do the same with TWT rides only with the FIT exporter, it’ll be a lot easier (i.e. less of the wrong kind of suffering, more of the right kind of suffering )
May you be blessed with never ending Tailwinds!
Well said, Sir @JamesJordan. Hope springs eternal, but we shall see how things progress.
Why not run it twice as year? one for the Northern Hemishere and the other for the Southern. Plus twice the suffering and more donations from those that would do it twice!!
Today I registered, made an extra donation and downloaded the Tour Training Plan into my calendar. So I’m in yet again–this will be my 11th Tour (although I did have to do the 2015 one as an Alt-Tour) and as always I look forward to the experience, especially if Revolver is not included. While I am a bit disappointed that the name of the Tour has changed because, well, to me Sufferlandria is a real place where I have spent a lot of time over the years, but I won’t complain as in the end the Tour is for a good cause. However, I do hope that we will have a nice poster once again as the graphic shown for the Wahooligan Tour doesn’t hold a candle to the wonderful ones of the past. Please please please bring back the artist who did the 2011-2021 posters!
@JamesJordan
Thanks for your post. I couldn’t agree more with you.
When Wahoo bought Sufferfest everything looked ok to me and I was happy that Sufferfest found a financially stable home.
When the Sufferfest App was renamed I started to worry that this was just the first step and the great nation of Sufferlandria, our spirit and culture would slowly vanish. At that time there were a lot of posts from Wahoo that this would not happen, …
Well, now the tour was renamed. What’s next?
Dear team at Wahoo, I have no idea who came up with that name „Wahooligan“, but I cannot identify myself with it. In my country hooligan means a violent & criminal soccer fan (mostly drunken). It’s a really negative name.
Sufferlandrian had a great meaning to me. But I don’t want to associate myself with hooligan.
As a Knight of Sufferlandria I am really dedicated to our great nation, sprit and awesome humor. The renaming of the ToS gave me the rest. I just can’t relate myself to the new branding, style and I miss the Sufferlandrian culture. I ended already my SYSTM subscription. I am riding now proudly as a KoS in Watopia. I guess there are not many fellow Sufferlandrians there. I haven’t seen any KoS there so far, but at least they have a Volcano which reminds me of home.
All the best to all Sufferlandrian and Knights

The poster is a critical element here!!
Yeah I’d not given it much thought as yet, but I also really hope it’s not going to be some variation of this corporate-looking pitch board…
#SHITSUFFERLANDRIANSSAY ?
Where is the route announcement…?
Thought it was going to be on 25th …?
Delayed until tomorrow, Friday…
But the training plan is already out and can be accessed ont he SYSTM app.
