Hi All,
Friends of mine have been using groupride feature for years. Everyone in my group finds it motivating to train through a block together and chat through the workouts. Is this feature now gone for good? It really weakens the TR offering if that is the case.
Best wishes,Shaun
I use it every week and spent ages looking for the right button after being let into the new beta.
According to an email from TR today, it will be back, but with no timeline given. I’ll use a video call service and just start the workout at the same time as my training partner in the meantime.
Gutted its gone.
They said only 30 people use it worldwide apparently.
I loved the metric visibility on everyones HR, Cadence, Power etc, and the shared motivation. Also if someone arrives 2 mins late - or even 10 mins late, they can still synch into the ride fine.
I realise its not AI adaptive since we all have to ride the same ride - but its the social side that gets me to actually train.
Here is the support message about Group Rides that @bobshopsupreme is talking about @blinking 
We wanted to give you a quick heads up because you have recently participated in TrainerRoad Group Workouts.
We are releasing an update today that will temporarily disable Group Workouts. We know this is frustrating, especially if training with others has been part of your routine, and we wanted to make sure you heard it from us first.
This is a temporary change. Group Workouts are not going away, and we are actively working on bringing them back soon. Once they are re enabled, we will follow up to let you know right away.
Group Workouts have been an important way for many athletes to stay motivated, connected, and accountable, and we truly appreciate how much enthusiasm you have shown for the feature. Your use and feedback help us continue improving TrainerRoad.
Thanks for your patience while we work through this. If you have any questions in the meantime, feel free to reach out.
I updated last night and then got up at 5am this morning for a group ride only to find the feature has been removed. Thanks.
Your posting of the email we all received today does not solve the query from the initial commentor.
What are the timelines for reinstating group rides and what is being done to compensate for the lack of a critical feature we expect within our subscriptions?
I understand–from the email that I received and that was pasted here–that it’s not gone for good. But how long are we talking about? I have several people that have been joining me on Wednesdays and Fridays for group rides on TrainerRoad since 2020. We’ve done about 550 rides together. Will it be weeks or months? Will it be a year? Do I need to find a stopgap solution to bridge a couple of weeks or do I need to find something that we can do for a year??
We have it on our list of things to do immediately following launch, although this could change. Right now we’re working on a few bugs and feedback items from the TrainerRoad AI launch, and this list is rather fluid at the moment. We’ll be sure to update here as soon as we have an updated timeline. In the meantime a zoom call or other video call while riding together could work, although you won’t see watts, hr, etc.
Myself and 4 other users are likely quitting TR due to this change. Is there are update as when group rides are coming back yet?
When Group Workout is coming back?
WE are almost a week without it …
I asked on email and he couldnt say if it was weeks or months.
I’ve left as i just find the workouts toooo brutal to do alone.
Back to the old unstructured joy, and agony of Zwift racing!

Update: Group workouts have officially been re-enabled and are live again!
For Group Workouts to appear, athletes need:
Also worth noting: if they still don’t see the tab after that, a quick log out / log back in usually fixes it.
