Yeah, I'm planning to do Hamilton -> Albany, but at 202 miles straight shot, it'd be more comfortable through Edison instead (169 mile leg, 203 mile total to Albany). Detouring through Darien is 102+144=246 miles, i.e. 43 miles out of my way.
I've got to check the elevation to confirm, but I think 202 miles should be OK in an 85. I've done 213 on the highway twice now already (out and back), rolling in with plenty of buffer each way.
Anyone already done Hamilton -> Albany who can confirm how tight it was?
Just to follow up, I did Hamilton to Albany without any issue, starting at 245 miles rated range. Ended with 14 miles. Air temp in the high 70s if I remember correctly and no weather. Would have had more at the end but for the last bit of the trip I sped up to 75 mph.
