Zwift is set to reprise a piece of its ever-progressing history with the relaunch of its first ever world, Jarvis Island, marking 10 years since it was first released.

If you remember riding it, you're likely one of the 4,665 beta testers who completed a lap around its single, 4.9km route, and one of a very small niche of early virtual riding adopters.

James Shrubsall

After cutting his teeth on local and national newspapers, James began at Cycling Weekly as a sub-editor in 2000 when the current office was literally all fields.

Eventually becoming chief sub-editor, in 2016 he switched to the job of full-time writer, and covers news, racing and features.

A lifelong cyclist and cycling fan, James's racing days (and most of his fitness) are now behind him. But he still rides regularly, both on the road and on the gravelly stuff.
