I was not sure if it was humor, or wanting to keep it local, so I thought I would bring it onto the table and get it out and settled. With only written words its hard to gauge the emotion behind the words so I like to double check. No offense meant or taken 
I will mark the 20th of oct down as another meetup!

The startpoint is planned to be in Brecksville. The videos are made! I will have more info soon! Oh, and careless driving (I am not going to expose my techniques or abilities!) gave me 31.1 mpg, starting with 31.0 for the trip, and extra idling. My drive was about 26 minutes. |

Videos will be up wednesday, when I can get to a computer. It took me 26+ minutes NOT driving fuel efficiently. I would rather just do it once myself, but if others want to do it again, I couldn't see why not. Or one can just arrive a little after noon, and run it and be prepared. If we still start at 13:00.

I would like to come but I do not think the wife would like the 6hr 1min drive. If it was just 6hrs I might be able to come out lol.
Have fun there and if anything changes (on my side) I would love to be there.

thanks for the trip preview
it looks like over half the trip is 25 MPH posted limit. that will suck. I like to pulse between 55 and 25. much slower takes too long.
whats the minimum on the freeway portion?
