Convince me to drive alone to Richmond

Hey All,
It’s been a long time. Feels like a long time anyways…
So, all my closest friends have bitched out on me regarding Richmond.
The closest other “locals” are in Orlando. They’ve all pretty much closed the deal on who is riding with who… While I’ve got a Astro van with just me and my peds. The drive to Richmond is over 800 miles – one way.
Frankly, with each passing minute I’m feeling less and less like driving that far by myself. I’ve saved a considerable amount of loot in the past year waiting for this rally, but now, nearly all of it will have to go towards gas now that I’ve got no help on the gas front.
It has been suggested that I ride with the other guys, but I’m not interested in cramping into a car and leaving my precious, clean mopeds on an open trailer for days and days.
I dunno, I guess I’m just venting, but I’m pissed about my boys one-by-one systematically backing out on me after they said they were really gonna try to go. I saw very little effort honestly.
Give me some incentive people… I need it.
Justin
