Subject: Nationwide bike tour club?
A couple years ago, while looking for a tour to do, I came across a
website that was apparently some sort of a nationwide bike club that
did a couple dozen tours each year in various locations. (I say "bike
club" because you had to be a paying member -- something like $50 -
$100/yr. -- to participate in these tours.) I don't recall the name
or where they were based. Anyone know who I thinking of . . . or if
they still exist?

No, it wasn't them. This was a MUCH smaller organization. They did,
I believe, mostly supported tours.
