Ride List
Below is a non-comprehensive list of event rides and races and maybe a few comments about them. To help you understand how difficult the terrain of the routes, some events are rated according to the Event Rating System.
Some are races, some are century events, others are both. These are rides & events that I have an interest in (so somebody out there may have an interest as well). Some I have done, others, not. Hopefully one day, I’ll get to all.
