I agree with Adam--this seems like fun, and a great idea! I wish I had the legs in the spring for 130 km. Good luck to those who participate. Much like the Ronde and La Doyenne are great rides, I bet these will be too!

The idea is a weekly series that works similar to a grand tour, except all the results are tabulated through Ride With GPS and riders that cannot make it to the day of the group ride can still complete the course during the week they're open. The ride will be marked like the Ronde or La Doyenne (with a skull and crossbones) and riders competing for mountains, points and general classification will be required to pay a nominal fee of $22 (impossibly cheap compared to most stage races, all race entry fees will go directly towards prizes, -5% that GoFundMe takes) with equal payout for women and men. Anyone who wants to ride the courses with the group ride can do so without paying. For more information, check out these promotional materials:
