GroupRide enhancement and new beta

Hey Andrea, GPS routes are already supported for GroupRides. Tacx Challenges and Playlists are out of scope for now.

Thanks Suzanne, the idea behind  GroupRide i understood was to improve multiplayer experience, that's why i was asking about Challenges and playlist to share between "group of friends"

I think I can understand why, They would need to have the ability to display long rides as if they were a single long ride to have Group ride work with them.  For Example the recent Paradise Island (Mallorca Challenge) would need to be displayed in the menu as a single 300km long ride that it was originally filmed as....not 8 separate stages,

New beta 4.50 and GroupRide enhancements, something more detailed?,…..will now support Tacx Challenges, Playlist and GPS route?

To add more, Group ride also has a scoreboard, just now its fairly simple as its limited to one ride. But to add this to a challenge would require some small changes like days or even weeks to finish rather then hours minutes!  having your avatar remain on the ride until the challenge has closed. The concept of a Group ride inside a challenge could be placed into the realm of a 'Virtual Cyclosportive'...its effectively a group ride but with possibly a lot of riders.

Im sure they will brainstorm all of this....Its a Group Challenge haha....its brilliant

GroupRide improvments:

- groupride rider list and leaderbord shown in Connect activity details;

- groupride leaderboard on RLV climbs shown in Connect;

any of these point already considered?

After almost 2 years from GroupRide implementation, i see a "huge" discrepancy between outdoor GR VS indoor Groupride user experience::

- no badge;

- no leaderboard in Connect activity stats;

- no ClimbPro data analysis;

- after Groupride completion the App still shown Groupride starting prompt as per screenshot, e.g.: GR started at 13:00 and ended at 14:02 but after saving still showing to join the GR

GroupRide data comparison: wondering IF will be best improve GR into the App or having a dedicated Edge Tacx profile to link with the App, but definetely Groupride need an improvement after these "stagnant"  3 years since implementation
