I've been pretty bummed about all the races getting cancelled because of the current virus situation and have been kicking around the idea of creating a locals only ultra endurance challenge that starts and ends in San Francisco. The idea is that I would share a route that people could time trial at their leisure and then post the results to a website as they come in. It would be open to people who live within riding distance of the start who complete the challenge solo. Riders would be required to be completely self supported and self contained (as in no stopping at any businesses along the route).
For the course I've mapped out 145 miles of mostly dirt that uses as much of the bike legal trails/gravel in the Marin Headlands, Mt Tam watershed and Point Reyes as possible. It could be done in a single day but I think some people would take two. See tentative route below.
