TrainingPeaks Virtual Adds New World Routes Feature

TrainingPeaks Virtual has added a new feature called World Routes as part of the platform’s new GPXplore segments.  

Originally launched by TrainingPeaks, TrainingPeaks Virtual was unveiled following the company’s acquisition of virtual cycling platform indieVelo.

Now, cyclists can ride real-world routes inside the platform via World Routes, featuring six iconic climbs from around the globe. This is the first phase of incorporating real-world routes into TrainingPeaks Virtual using GPX files, with the ability for users to upload their own routes coming soon.

Available now:

• Passo dello Stelvio — Italy
• Flagstaff Mountain — Colorado, USA
• Koppenberg — Flanders, Belgium
• Sa Calobra — Mallorca, Spain
• Alpe d’Huez — France
• Parc du Mont-Royal Circuit — Quebec, Canada

“This new feature aims to create a bridge between indoor training and outdoor performance, letting riders prepare more specifically for the events and climbs they’ll face in real life,” says TrainingPeaks. 

Other features that were previously launched:

• Enhanced Physics & Graphics – new cornering physics replicate real-world demands
• Accessible Pricing – TrainingPeaks Virtual is included with TrainingPeaks Premium
• Redesigned Bikes & Gear – sleeker virtual models that bring a more authentic ride feel
• Upgraded Graphics & UI – upgraded visuals and a modern home screen and menus for faster navigation
• Free 4 All Tuesday – to showcase the platform, every first Tuesday of the month TrainingPeaks opens rides on TrainingPeaks Virtual for free

“With World Routes, TrainingPeaks Virtual is aiming to bring together real-world rides, real-world kits, and real-world tactics into the most performance-focused indoor training experience available,” adds TrainingPeaks.

The six new World Routes are now available to current subscribers, while those considering joining TrainingPeaks Virtual can test them for free during the next FREE 4 All Tuesday when the platform is opened up to anyone.
