Thanks for your further recommendations. I already registered for the Goldenstate Fondo 
Can anyone tell me about the competitiveness of the fields? Do people race the GFs?
Belgian Waffle Ride just added a couple of additional events this year including an Asheville race with 12k feet of climbing!

Where are you located in the US? I know of a lot more rides in the NC/SC area.

LOTOJA = Logan, UT to Jackson Hole, WY. It’s touted as the longest single-day sanctioned road race in the US: 202 miles and ~9000 ft.
+1 for this. My first ever stage race last year and was tough/fast, but an absoute blast too!
I was going to mention Hincapie. I’m finally local to one now so it will be my first this year but have always heard good things about them.
Also look at the Farm to Fork Fondos. I’ve done a couple, Tyler puts on a good event.

Delta Epic. 293 mi of gravel in Mississippi in October. Pancake flat. Til it’s not.

I can highly recommend this one. Have done it since it’s inception. Great area as well.
