I like it all ... organised and unorganised ... rando, ld racing, and the casual weekend centuries.

That's what this forum is for ... all sorts of long distance cycling.

And when a thread hasn't been responded to in well over two years, it's dead.

The civilians out there, mainly the folks who don't ride or do any form of exercise consider a 25 mile ride long distance. My rule of thumb is 50 miles to beyond is long distance cycling.
