I joined Purple Patch Squad last week and have been importing their custom workouts to TR. Would love to be able to do group rides with fellow PPF members!
Is this the reason the “writing notes” aren’t on screen during group workouts. I miss them!

I don’t know if that is the cause or not.
Chuckle yep. There are two bedrooms on that level and this allowed training to be done at 11pm without disturbing those trying to sleep. but you could record a podcast while pedaling and nobody would know you are on a bike.
Chad - Any view on when we’re getting new release of TR with custom workout support? Or anywhere you put out the announcement of the new release?

I have no more info than what Nate has shared on the podcast, which is not specific for timing.
As far as announcement, that is usually done from official TR reps (which I am not), via either a new thread post, or additional post to the original announcement.
It’s in testing right now. Hopefully soon.

I just wanted to say THANK YOU for this amazing feature!
When Group Workouts were released, I had mixed feelings about that feature. For me it was more like: whatever. 
How that feature should improve my training experience compared to Zwift or Netflix was unclear to me.
BUT: Today I gave it a try. And it was amazing
I never had so much fun on the trainer.
Ok, it was only Pettit. So RPE was obviously not that high.
But the real difference was meeting so good company! No Zwift or Netflix gets even close to talking to real humans.
Thank you so much @mylesdavidson and @canadiankiwijay for the great conversation.
It really is one of the things you have to try before you form your opinion.

Totally agree. Was great to connect with you and Jay, especially during isolation, to share a workout. A really great experience.

I got dropped on a group workout LOL. I lost connection and to rejoin I had to save the ride and then rejoin the workout creating another ride file. Is there a way to rejoin a group ride if you loose connection without creating a new ride file?
Hey! Nice, I’ll try to join next time 
I’ve got yesterday’s Podcast queued up to listen to so there could be an update in there but is there a projection on when we can support more than 5 participants? I know 11 was supposed to be coming about the same time the Ramp Test released but I don’t think it was quite ready?
I’m not thru the whole thing yet, but it isn’t part of the opening, so I am betting it’s not done yet.
I did a 2 1/2 minute interval and it didn’t reconnect. There was a message on the screen about waiting for the Host to join, but I was the only one that got dropped.
that was my assumption as well, I made it into some of the question so I figured it was not going to be announced just yet.

Yes I want to know this too. I’m trying to get friends to join group rides and have had 2 or 3 joining. Now I’ve suggested that we do a group ramp test and suddenly a lot more are interested. Would be great to see more than 5 people rolled out soon 
@Nate_Pearson some minor feedback. I often have the issue that after creating a code I log in say 10 to 15 mins early, and then I see no one else join, but if I log back out and go in again, everyone is there. Is there some kind of timeout in place?
Other things which I think have probably been mentioned already:
- chat feature would be useful.
- Person who created the workout always has a space.
Otherwise am loving them. My training is booming (thank @paulgrav @GregElwell @Mark0930) thanks to them.
We have a whole new video system launching (hopefully - depending on final testing) this week. We’re going to use it in our live ramp test on Monday. That should help with the issue of not seeing anyone.
We’re also making it so the person who created the workout always has space!
And we’re building a built in scheduling, invite and RSVP system! 
That one is a bit of a bigger project so it will take some time, but we’re working on it.
