I like that idea. Let's go metric. So 74 X .62 = 46 miles. I could probably do that. Had I been thinking metric last summer at Kitty Hawk, only 2 more miles would have put me over. Other than the traffic it's a good place for making mileage (kilometerage?) with minimal elevation changes. The wind can be a factor though as the Wright Bros. knew and counted on.
