Saving activity despite internet connection loss
Sometimes the internet connection disconnects. In this situation, Training Peaks Virtual does not save further activity even after reconnecting. This is a big inconvenience. Other platforms, despite losing connection, continue to save activity.

Many thanks for your suggestion and support for TrainingPeaks Virtual.
Currently the FIT files uploaded to TrainingPeaks / Strava etc are those recorded on the server...so if you lose internet connectivity with the server while riding, then innevitably they won't have your full ride data in them. However, your device also records its own FIT file and this should contain the entire ride and can be manually uploaded to TrainingPeaks / Strava if needed.
Please see the following article for more information on where to find these files.

Totally agree on this one. It’s going to be a major factor in switching if this isn’t fixed.
What is to stop the local file being uploaded to the server at the end of the ride automatically if the internet connection has dropped.
TP virtual highlights that the temporary outage has occurred and co tongues to record locally so cannot not be programmed to upload this file in response?
