Calendar time zone setting
One of the recent updates forced the calendar URL link for exporting calendar to GMT rather than the local time zone. It can't be changed in Google calendar and so it shows up wrong on the calendar. This wasn't a problem until sometime earlier this year and I just figured out it wasn't me or my new phone.

I just realised I have the same issue, and it's had me going round in circles for days... I can't begin to express how valuable fixing this will be, would really appreciate Training Peaks picking this up promptly.
Delving into the issue a little more, the problem is that the ics passes the events as 'Floating', Google then seems to interpret this as UTC. It bears no reflection on the time zone specified on our user profile.

Incredibly irritating glitch.

The times for workouts imported into Google Calendar are incorrect due to the default time zone being incorrec. There is no way of changing to the correct time zone. This is very crazy and should be fixed by TrainingPeaks.

I can't even begin to describe how annoying the import into Google Calendar is. Google Calendar ends up importing the ICS URL as UTC and then the times are automatically off. Yes, the URL works in Outlook for example because they do not default to UTC. But Google Calendar is the elephant in the room and it can't be ignored. :-) I can except only having two weeks worth of future workouts and only a small portion of previously completed workouts (even if it's far too little). However, then those two weeks should appear correctly on all the major platforms!
Here's to hoping that with some small coding, the created ICS URL can appear with the correct timezone in Google Calendar!
