In other words, not just a 200k (or longer) ride, but an organized and RUSA approved ride, correct? And, of course, you have to do one every month.
A worthy goal! I don't think I could do it without driving to most of the rides, though.
Thanks! I strongly believe in not driving to cycling events if it can be helped, so I ride locally or ride to or take the train to an event if possible. Along those lines I have prepared four official 200k Permanent routes and submitted them for RUSA approval just this past week. Once approved, I can ride and get R12 credit for these permanent routes that start essentially from my doorstep. Once you are a RUSA member you don't need to have a local club or organization, you just contact RUSA directly. I'm not sure if RUSA will accept routes that are not in the USA but I don't see a reason why not.
But my goal is for the greater good. To open up more areas to ride in that are low traffic, clean air, and mildly interesting. I hope that other RUSA riders (and non-RUSA for that matter) will take advantage of those routes. Come often, I'll make more!
And welcome to ThermionicScott and southpawboston!
