Zwift Power is a bit of grey area I think, isn’t it? I thought they’d handed over to Zwift?

Yes, ZP is now under Zwift control. We don’t really know what will happen with if beyond the current state. Outside of that, Zwift is supposed to be developing a Club function. This maybe something we use eventually.
I’m game for a team, I’ve not raced this year, and never raced zwift with team tactics. If that could be implemented…

Considering the current situation (i.e., in most countries there probably won’t be a proper group race until a vaccine is widespread), It would be fun to have some virtual racing among like-minded people.
I have used zwift in the spring, but it could be any decent platform. Reading the comments in the forum it looks like zwift is the most decent virtual racing experience.
I think Ontario Cycling Association did a great job in organizing a virtual racing series (see https://www.ontariocycling.org/event/44583/?instance_id=2334).
I have no idea (and unfortunately no time to dedicate to it), but I think doing some race series competing against other TR users should be a lot of fun.
Maybe once a month or every 4-5 weeks so it doesn’t mess with our training plans 
? Off course these will be all “C” or “B” races.
Anyway, happy to do my best to participate in any community activity. Love the forum and TR!

Yeah, this is an opportunity to get some “goal” events or even B/C level events for fun as an alternate to pure workouts.
Once we get results options in Meetups, that is one way to do more refined events with just those we want involved. It may well roll into the future Clubs function. Meetups have a few issues. 50 rider max IIRC. Then you have to make and send invites for each event. But it’s possible to “reuse” old MU’s to send new invites, so it saves some time in setting them up. All that is to avoid setting up our own actual events through the messy and busy Zwift system. That or we can look for existing open series events that seem worthwhile. More than one way to get this to happen.
I tried meetups a while back with little success/participation from TR forum users but thats not to say it wont be better now. Maybe I am not very popular 
which I am ok with. At least Zwift made meetups now where you can join late which is a nice change.
Regardless it is good to see other TR users catching up. I have been riding quite a bit on Zwift lately getting the badges (100/136) and I am including running as well in the above. Probably have 15 running and 21 cycling left. Just did Dust in the Wind today. Have a few longer ones left but not too many.

Since I joined a zwift facebook group I think there’s a clear distinction between TR and zwift that in the majority TR users train to be faster outside where as the zwift users want to be better at zwift.
This would be AMAZING. But I don’t think itll ever happen.
Hm, since we all love virtual rewards (badges), I have an idea for a fun little TR - Zwift crossover project for the group here ;). I’m off to the drawing board…

I believe the results option has now been released for meet-ups.

So what’s the official tag? I’ll likely be forced to ride inside as it is rainy, so I’ll change my name up.
(TR) is still unofficial, but what most of us seem to be using.
I’ve not gotten any word yet.

I just quote and reply to myself 
: I thought about taking my programming template from ZwiftHub and fill it with TR workouts. I initially thought it might be fun to tick off “TR workouts done” and maybe add some additional achievements (TR rides for x-days in a row etc).
BUT after really thinking about it I realized that this is a stupid idea.
- I don’t want to mess with the intellectual property of TR, nor do I see a need for a good filter and sorting options for the workout since TR excels in that.
- It doesn’t make us faster- probably the opposite. I don’t want to encourage anyone (including myself) to do a random workout just for the sake of ticking it off. Let’s stick to the plan and get faster and stronger.

Wasn’t the limit upped to 100?

It probably goes a bit deeper in that most of the folk that want to get better at Zwift get much faster outside too!!

Sure could have. I need to review all the recent stuff and get fully up to speed.
Got the green light from Nate to use “TrainerRoad” as part of the Zwift team name. So we can start working on the “extra” word to add to form the full team name.

Lol, I was one of those. That was really cool seeing other TR users on there. I just hit the climbs while using TR to help unlock the tron bike.

Just a thought Chad, if we can’t come up with something really good I kinda like just using “TrainerRoad”. Several very big teams have just a brand name. e.g. Cryo-Gen
