Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

there's the longest day ride which goes from the northern tip of NJ to the southern, it's a 1 day ride, so it's a double century.

Michigan claims to have one, but if you look at a map it's not across the whole state: https://www.lmb.org/pages/Events/Shor...ages/ODRAM.htm

I wish more states had rides across that are meant to be fast. For example, here in Ohio they have XOBA, but they take 7 days to do what could be done in 2.

There may be more than one in NY. The one I am familiar with is FANY. Five hundred miles Across NY
