Custom Routes for Custom Events
It would be amazing to be able to plot your own course for an event. This would open up a lot of opportunities for different types of workouts. We could create new, dynamic race courses that would add a lot of flavor to the existing roads.
A secondary, and maybe easier, implementation of this would be the ability to link courses. This way, you could do a longer route and then finish on a circuit to get the distance you wanted. Or, warmup with 8 laps on the velodrome before setting out.

A great way to do this that we discussed a long time ago would be a basic text based file that determined the route;
Start point
Distance
Turn 1 choice
Turn 2 choice
Turn 3 choiceetc
I think this would be top of my list of feature suggestions.

To add more variability to TrainingPeaks Virtual rides route length and ride profile possibilities and to make rides more interesting it would be excellent to have the possibiliy to combine 2 to 3 routes in the Add New Event menu. I mean like you choose whatever route and then get an option to add to it one-two other routes to make an ad hoc combined route for the curent event.
Even better variant will be if the event ad hoc route generation could be done automatically, in a way that event organizer simply inserts desired route length and maximal allowed total climbing meters and TrainingPeaks Virtual itself generates appropriate "surprise" route.

We ask for this for a long time, this would be a true game changer, an infinite possibilities of routes ! I’m really waiting for this !
