I know what to expect now. I will prepare a little differently this time. I think we can get into the mid 140's. I will lighten up a little. Too much fuel in the tank, and few other little things we can try. It was just fun being out there running with all the exotics. Hopefully Bryan and I can get lined up for a photo run. Get us midway before he passes me...lol

Valk, I don't know that I will do the June run...may just come up and watch. I forgot I like the fall run better because the temps are more favorable. We will see though. I will be there either way.
