My 1000K in Manitoba was entirely self-supported (as were all the shorter distances, of course). That's one of the reasons I enjoy most 1200K events ... there's so much support on many of them!! The RM1200, PBP, and Great Southern Randonnee, in particular stand out in my mind as very well supported events.
I assumed that no US rides had support (at least, 600K and shorter)....that's what I've seen, anyway.
