I talked to my sis-in-law the other day and got a ration of it for not coming to visit this winter, so I told her I'd look to see what was on the ride schedule for the late fall -- late October to early Decmber.

Can you all help me build a list of possibilities? Either centuries or 200k brevets would be good and it would be nice to have them within driving distance of Clearwater/St. Pete Beach so I could stay at Hotel SIL the entire time. I can telecommute for work so I could probably be around for 2 weekends of riding - just haul my laptop with me.

Any suggestions? Realize I haven't a clue where the town are so giving me a list of rides without some idea of distance from Clearwater doesn't help because I don't know what is close by and what isn't. Of course, routes with less traffic would be superb but I realize I may have to drive farther to get that. Tampa seems to sprawl forever and ever and ever.

Thank you so much for the help.
