"Probably (at this point) just daydreaming,..."
Yes, doing a little of that myself...hmmm, Pottstown to Mississippi River should run $195 for gas round trip. $35 for tolls on PA turnpike, probably 5 nights in motel at hopefully just $50/night. Could live off the dollar menu at fast foods, $40. How much was the show up money? If you find a way to beam me there I'm in, till then I'm planning my local century trip, visiting various locations of the local Wawa convenience store chain for support. Hopefully I'll spend less then $10. And I'll be riding 25mm tyres on the gravel trail portions of the route.
