Yes!

But it would be terrible anyway. Because cold engine! And cold everything else. (Speaking of temperature, is it still too hot and/or inconvenient to bike??)

Now I'm curious to know what numbers you're actually getting on that long pulse & glide.

I once did a 4,214 km long pulse! Airplane to the Azores. The glide: sailing back.
