    Why not make it the 52 States Ride? Puerto Rico Ave (shown here: https://goo.gl/maps/CMFyEBwRZg52 ) is a very slight detour from Hawaii Ave on the usual route, but we’d need to do some campaigning since Puerto Rico always votes to remain a territory. Just an idea, though :)

    Actually, Puerto Rico voted to be a state in 2012. Not much has happened with that since then, however.

    Hmm, I never knew that! After a quick bit of research, I’m not surprised that they haven’t been made a state even after their vote due to the fact that the territory as a whole is >$70 billion in debt. Still, it’d be kind of cool to be alive for the introduction of another state to the U.S.A.
