How about both? You are touring. You are going long distances (270 miles in three days). Long distance touring, long distance cycling. The point I'm trying to make in my posts is that the description "long distance" can apply to any number of kinds of cycling - brevets, touring, racing,... I don't want to change the name of the touring forum to Long Distance Touring, Touring is just fine. My objection is the term Long Distance being narrowed down to only one kind of cycling.
