That same idea has been on my mind, too, and for quite some time now...FWIW. Mini-touring is the next logical part of the progression and it's growing. The majority of us seem to ride on the road enough to at least want road-legal bikes. We must be riding them somewhere.
The problem with adding yet another folder/section is what many may view as making things needlessly complex with just plain too many folders/sections. Take a look at the "for sale" section with its sub-folders. Would similar treatment in the "Rides & Events" section be a step forward or backward? IMO, at least for the time being, the "Rides, Events..." section already provides a reasonble home for this topic and ride videos.
Just so there's no confusion, I'm asking for feedback, not trying to steer the discussion in any direction. So, let's see if there's any general consensus and build from there.
