Rally travel plans North crew

[Phenix_Rider]

Don't think I'm riding with you folks. I much prefer to get a full night's sleep before going that far, instead of dragging ass after work. And I really do not want to ride slab all the way.

I was thinking leaving south NJ around 9 or 10 doing 5 or 6 hours and taking a break for a few hours, hell even an iron butt motel for 2-3 hours would be great and get down there early afternoon.

9 or 10 may not work, tha tmeans I have to leave NYC around 6 or 7 which means getting killed by traffic. I would be fine leavin glater so we can get a nap in before we go. Plus as were riding down the sun comming up may be that extra boost to get us all through. Obviously it will be a see how we feel sort of thing as far as if we push all the way through or stop for a nap somewhere. Either of you guys bringing a gps so we can find a place if need be. I have one but currently dont have a mount or a power source for it so I would have about 4 hrs of use off its own battery.

ok cool, I may have some other stuff to do/work on so ading a powerlet adapter was kinda far down on my list of stuff to do before the rally. Now how much travel time we looking at from that rest stop in delaware? With no traffic I can make it down there in about 3 hrs.

so its 12 hrs from there, thats what I was nto sure of. I think its 8 something from up here. If we average 70mph while on the road with breaks and stuff 12 hrs sounds about right. Figure we stop every 150 or so miles for gas so thats every 2 hrs, then just have to factor in how long our breaks will be which I guess we will see as we go. Once one of us gets fatigued we will pack it in for a bit.
