Hey fam! I have an idea for a first time bike route that could be iconic, but would be shocked to actually be the first. Any tips on asking/researching it without giving away what the idea is? From my initial searching, no one has done what I'm contemplating, but i know not everything is easy to find whether it has been done pre-internet. Any other ultra groups or tips, always welcome!

Welcome to the forums! I am far from an ultra-cyclist, but have seen the World Ultra Cycling Association's website and know that the Adventure Cycling Association does USA stuff. Maybe try and find some ultra vets through the forums on here? Or, search the archives of newspapers along your route, local historical groups, etc.? Good luck with the research and with the eventual ride!
