Wow - already four people interested, plus myself.


Looks like we're centering on Albany or Springfield, with some mention of Worcester MA. However as any additional people chime in, we'll see where the overall preference leads us.

As for the downhill run thing affecting an mpg competition -
Sheepdog, we'll just have to penalize you 10 mpg!
Kidding of course.
Seriously Sheepdog44, what altitude are you at?
What lower start point could you get to? Start point is your choice.

Springfield elevation: 70'
Albany airport elevation: 285'
I looked these up.

Another plan might be to have the return trip also count in the mpg competition. That would balance off any climbs and descents. The down side would be that we wouldn't have those results till after our meetup.

Glad to see this many people interested, right off the bat.
Thanks, guys!

Who else is interested?
