TrainingPeaks Virtual (TPV) Chat Zone

I will probably do the eCKD Tuesday series as well (https://events.eckd.dk/League/Race and fun for all)

We could register as a team, just for the fun of it?

Any creative types fancy setting up a Cyclechat Team/jersey?

I think chatgpt has knocked this one out of the park

Not quite the fancy AI layout, but will probably render better on low end devices - and adheres to the TPV template. :-)
Added a few variations.

I like tpv as it stands and think I will use it more than other platforms , I especially like it because in open pens I have no chance of winning just like in reality - I am nearly 60 racing with 20 yr olds - I shouldn’t win ! I won’t bleat on about it not being fair or try and cook my numbers or say algorithm is wrong
It’s a sad fact that I am older and slower than others but my position in results is fair for the effort I put in so I think myself they have got it about right
I decided to leave one chat because of the constant bickering about things not being fair and how things should change so people could win
At least that shouldn’t happen here as they have a bloody good system to rate people in and is policed well
Looking forward to racing against similar familiar people

You get a better class of whinger in the indievelo discord

As I said before, they really have built their systems having looked at what wasn't right on other platforms. And they've done it well.

On the back of this thread i tried it today “One day hills classic” wow, it was tough😱 needed to keep around 260w just to stay in the front half…… never ridden a virtual race before so it was all new but quite fun. Think i need to find an easier race group though😂

Nice. Do you normally ride on another platform?

Usually only Rouvy ie me vs me😂 missed the last 2 years of club riding due to work as my club only ride mid-week evenings.

First one is ALWAYS a bit of a shock

And it's all downhill uphill from there

I was halfway through a workout today when the power suddenly stopped recording on TPV but was still visible on my Garmin. It didn't come back so I exited and came back in but Turbo would not go to Erg mode.

I ditched the workout and did the first 10 miles of a Group Ride on TPV to vent my annoyance. I hope it doesn't make a habit of doing that.

A few others complained about dropouts during the ride. My HRM was erratic/low until km 9, where it finally dropped out completely. Maybe new batteries are needed...

I get drop outs like that on Zwift fairly regularly, very annoying. I hope TPV stays stable!
