My situation is the following. I live in the city but I have a boat 50 miles away in a marina in the river. Every weekend I ride my bike to the boat. I have my own personal goals and schedules of miles I want to complete in a month and yearly etc...

I appreciate those that provided me with answers without judging whether you think it's wrong or not. Now I understand better about these events and all it entails and can make a better decision being more informed. I'm not sure what I'll do yet, I'll think about all your answers and decide.
Thank you for your time.
Nice replies, though I think while you may ride on their venue and schedule, there is no reason for them to change either.
BTW, I note you post your location as “Between northern CA, south Fl, NC and beautiful MT.” I presume you are not in my usual cycling regions of New England or the Great Lakes, both also boating meccas.

I learned to love the water from the Great Lakes in [my native] Michigan, and the Atlantic Ocean in Boston.
BTW, I don’t list my location under my avatar, but it is “D’uh.”
