Suspend Subscription during summer months (annual membership)
When TrainingPeaks Virtual becomes a paid product, the monthly subscription is on par with others. But the annual membership is cheaper than like Zwift. Some people only use TrainingPeaks Virtual and not the full blown TrainingPeaks platform. For those who only ride virtual and only during the winter months, it would be nice to have the suspend subscription during the summer months when people ride outdoor but still take advantage of the pricing of the annual membership.

Many thanks for your suggestion and support for TrainingPeaks Virtual.
There are already two options for subscribing to TrainingPeaks Premium (which will enable you to use both TrainingPeaks Virtual, and the whole of the rest of the TrainingPeaks product set).
1) Monthly, which enables you to take a break over the summer, or whenever else you want.
2) Annually, which gives you access for the entire year.
As you've already noted, the annual subscription is already incredibly good value at only around $10 per month. As such, it's usually cheaper to just buy this, rather than to pick and choose which months you subscribe for - obviously it's your choice however if you want to take the more expensive monthly option and only pay some of the time!

I'm not interested in all the analytics and just ride on TPV for fun and fitness. Will TP come up with a TPV only subscription plan? I would think many of us none competitive riders just don't care about the charts and graph stuff.

When TPV becomes paid, the monthly feed isn't that much of a vale compared to annual. But some people on use TPV for the ride and not TP, therefore summer months might be less useful. It would be nice that we can take advantage of the annual membership but allow people to suspend their subscription during the summer months (for people who just want the virtual ride)
