This is an interesting idea! I'd need to figure out where I could ride that would both be a desirable destination and have a safe way to ride there. Regrettably, there aren't many long rides in my area that seem safe from cars. Don't mean to put a damper of the thread, but last year, a neighbor of mine was cyling down to the coast, his wife driving down to meet him, and he was hit and killed by an SUV. Your idea is something to consider, if I could find a good route and destination.
