Yes you could! And I hope you do. Some of the routes I have submitted are essentially the same as some of the century rides I dis last year. It took me a good deal of the holiday break to prepare the four routes that I have submitted for approval. They are being reviewed right now by the RUSA permanent coordinator, Crista Borras. Here's the link to the RUSA page http://www.rusa.org/perminfo.html. When the permanents are approved I will post them here and on my home Randonneur site here: http://www.pchrandos.com/html/permanents.html I hope to have them approved by Febuary. I also have a 200k brevet scheduled for April 14th. Those are listed hare: http://www.pchrandos.com/html/brevets.html
I also use and like BRT also but have chosen RideWithGPS because it lets me add indications on the map for where the checkpoints are. The RUSA folks have started asking for that. Here's a sample of one of my routes: http://ridewithgps.com/routes/876162You may even recognize some of the pictures!
