Although suggestions for rides on the eastern half of the US never garner the same amount of reaction that our dudes on the left side get, there was what was considered to be a successful ride a few years ago at HM. You can find the gallery here and a write-up(though the term is used loosely) here.
I would say the majority of attendees are no longer regulars on the site, but the point being that although you may not get a lot of say-so at the beginning, a right-side ride can be pulled off
