Mattm, I remembered your ride, it got me started thinking about doing this. That and talking to a batch of NC randos that rode 200k to NAHBS. There is a Raleigh to Richmond permanent, and they rode overnight to get there.

I haven't figured out my exact schedule. I still have to ride myself into shape. It's just that sitting in my car for 6 hours round trip for a 200k leads to lots of crazy ideas
