Here's the trip. I leave tomorrow morning, and return Sat night.
Fri 10:00am Cleveland, OH to Columbus, OH - 125mi/2h Fri 3:00pm Columbus, OH to Auburn, IN - 191mi/4h Sat 4:00pm - Auburn, IN to Cleveland, OH - 211mi/4h 500mi in 2 days...I think it is doable. If Scott can put 6K on the Porscharu in 2 weeks, I think I can make it!

I'm changing to new pads before I leave, and then I'm out the door. Wish me luck! I won't have 'club' access for a while, but if anyone is along the way, can you email me your number in case I get stuck?? doug@hardman.org will go to my BlackBerry. |

Well I was in my '76 coming back to LA from Laguna Seca on the 101 (300 miles). There are stretches of the 101 you'd swear are a stones throw from pluto - 'specially in the middle of the nite. Well all of a sudden, the thing hiccups. Got a shot of adrenaline. No cell, but packed lots of junk food. Was able to transmogrify its energy content into willpower, overwhelming the teeners attempt to go into funk mode. Got home w/o further incident. Moral: cheese puffs, donuts, and diet pepsi may allow you to avert disaster, but forms an ungodly mixture in your tummy. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/icon8.gif)
