Something that caught my attention a few years ago was the large number of Radmarathons on offer in Germany including some that are part of the BDR Super-Cup series.
Radmarathons are typically 200+ km rides, and clubs hosting them usually offer shorter routes as well.
The BDR Super-Cup is a selection of Radmarathons made by the Bund Deutscher Radfahrer for their general appeal, challenging routes and good organization.
While I'm in Germany, my plan is to ride five of the seven Super-Cup events, and it just so happens that completing five Super-Cup rides earns a rider a special jersey as a keepsake for the accomplishment, like this one from 2002:
The five rides I'm doing are (distances in km, climbing in m)
23. June 7. Super Cup Warburg Westfalen 242/ 2800
07. July 3. Trierer Moselland-Super Cup 212/3000
04. August Gregor Braun Schwarzwald Classic 202/3020
01. September Tour de Oppes 210/3000
23. September 8. symBadischer Radmarathon 201/3700
There are two other rides I can't do:
27. May RHÖN-Ramarathon 210/3500 (happens while I'm in Berlin)
18. August Rund um die Festspielstadt Bad Hersfeld 250/2700 (this is while I'm in France)
