Default Detroit to SITM

We're all leaving on Thursday morning.

We're meeting at the Bob Evans at Ford Rd and I-275 (NW corner) at 8:30AM. Wheels up at 9:30AM.

Google maps says it's 530 miles. If we average 70MPH (which we can do easily), and including an hour for lunch, that's about 8.5 hours - Should put us into Alco around 6PM.

And that should leave time to go and hit the Dragon on Thursday evening!

See you there.

Thanks Nick. Be sure to let us know when your next trip to the Detroit area is, so we can have a little fun.

Not all are leaving Thursday.

I'm leaving at 5 or 6 Friday morning straight to NC via interstate for the quickest trip.

Well you don't technically live in Detroit now, do you?

I think we've convinced the other Andrew to trek with us on Thursday. He just needs to get some new rubber up front and he should be good to go.

Many thanks to Andrew, Dennis and Stan for coming by and helping out last Saturday with the Jet Hot Coated Ott X install, Tran Oil refresh and over all inspection.

Just got the wheels balanced.... new tie rods assemblies going on tomorrow night then over to Andrew’s for a back yard alignment

STIM or Bust..
