Totally ready. It’s one of my normal training routes Randofied. Now that I have one, I’ll start submitting more. I want a 400k from my house

It's a Rando route that can be ridden at any time as a RUSA Member. Similar rules to a Brevet but on your own. In the Rando world there are awards for things like riding a 200k every month (R12) or 100k (P12). Super Rando where you do all 4 distances in ACP Events. One of the higher up ones is called a K Hound where you do 10,000k of Brevets or Permanents in a year. With traveling to permanent starting points these can take a lot of time to achieve so most K Hounds will offer Perm Routes close to where they live or work to make it easier to bang them out.

Since you’ve gone thru the process, can the tow path be used or will it be turned down?

Brandon from Pete's is trying to get a 200k on the canal approved ATM. Mine was submitted a week later and approved already so it might not get approved. One hard part of getting the path approved is having Canal Road follow it so you need a ton of Control points to prove you're actually on the route. Also, I believe routes need to be rideable on a normal road bike by a normal person.

Rando folks are easily the best people out there. I'm by far the biggest assclown you'll run into out there.

Fucking Awesome. I’m riding it. On my August calendar
I hope he manned up and included all the locks in Trenton. Ever been Jim? You have to do it but keep it moving for sure.

I have. Many times. It's sketchy AF.

Nah. But I will say that I'm not running an XD Driver and 11 more gears than usual.

Yeah, I'm not high enough on the food chain to test that stuff. On the plus side, I test things that people will actually ride.
