Apologies for bumping such an old thread! I couldn't find a newer one that addressed the same questions in such detail.
As a new RUSA member who (as a rule) won't drive a car to ride my bike, I'd like to set up some Permanents that (a) give me credit for the rides I ride anyway and (b) let me share some of my favorite out-of-the-way places with other riders. But the problem is, most of my rides involve detours away from busy roads, while the kind of places that make for good controles are on the busy roads. I understand the idea of an information controle, and I may do that. But I'd rather go with convenience stores and the like.
So for my controles I'd like to use a sequence of businesses that are open 24/7, that guarantees the rider has done at least 100 km, so the ride qualifies as a populaire no matter what short cuts a rider might take; but I will provide a cue sheet that goes the route I would actually ride (more like 114 km).
Is that done? Is that even permissible?
