Endurance.Net Ridecamp Archives

I'm a newbie to endurance so I don't know where most of the rides are. 
Could people in the future add the name of the state where the ride is 
in whenever a ride is announced so all newbies like me can learn where 
each ride is?  This would be so helpful.  Also is there a link on 
endurance.net where there's a list of all known rides (long, short, 
single day, multiday) in the US including unofficial ones with state 
names next to it?
Many thanks
Kathy
Ps where is this patriot day ride? :)
