Ouch,

I've been wanting to do a local 3 day bike "mini-tour".

But, they have it organized as:
  • Round Trip
  • One Way
  • Round Trip
Which makes it almost impossible to self-support for the return trip on the second day (double century in the middle of the event would be tough).

If, on the other hand, they did it:
  • Round Trip
  • Round Trip
  • One Way
Then I would just bail after the last segment and come back the next day for a 4 day ride. I even have a place to stay overnight.
