Wouldn't it be cool to do a raam style event (without the glitz, hype, "charity" charades, etc) allowing for recumbents, cross bikes, mountain bikes and DFs available to the racer.
Some off-road / mountain bike / gravel race routes could be included, too.
I think it is essential to have support vehicles (two) for a cross country event.
However, I don't think it necessary to have the same crewmembers all the way across the country. Two `core' crewmembers would do the whole trip. The other crewmembers would start and stop every 300 - 500 miles. Different crewmembers.
Maybe the crew would use their own vehicles, and `relay' bikes and provisions to the next crew and vehicle. Even use mountain / cross bikes `borrowed' and left behind.
A few dry runs for shorter distances (1,000 miles) and safer routes would work out some logistics and offer productive lessons.
I might do it.
This red is killing me, man.
