Haven’t done that
But I did ride BikeMaine one year, a weeklong tour through Maine (different course every year), much smaller and more sedate, though they did have a beer tent at every camping place, and local bands playing. A favorite was the Machias Ukelele Band, who in response to a sarcastic request for Led Zepplin, kicked out an awesome “Rock and Roll.”
It’s fun, though I’m not really moved to do it every year. Depends on the course, the year I rode it was Washington County which was beautiful (the coast north of Bar Harbor).
Like Ragbrai, most people ride pretty slow. Brian, you could definitely do the miles if you wanted to, you’ve got all day to ride 60-70 miles or so....
I think there are many rides somewhat like this now.
