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! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif)

I've put 800ish miles on her since the restoration, but I'm a bit nervous. 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.
