Damn, too bad it's so late!! LOL My office is like 5 miles from there, but I get out at 3:30 and head home to Pennsy, not sure I would want to come back this way again the same day....

I know the feeling. I work in NYC and when I leave the City I don't want to go back.

30 min??!? I wish. More like 1.5 hours with no traffic or 2 via the train.

Ryan, if you mean Lebanon to Easton? about 40 minutes in the afternoon, and anywhere from 40 min to 90 min in the morning depending on which half asleep ******* caused the accident. I-78 has become a commuting nightmare!

Also the construction on 78 on the express lanes has made eastbound commuting in the morning that much worse.

Ugh that sucks.. I used to drive that way a lot to get to school a few years ago, but it was mostly on the off-times.

Is there any construction west-bound between exits 50 & 23 I should be aware of if I come out today? [I know there is a bit near the rt 287 split]

I drove from about exit 44 to 23 westbound on Monday and don't recall any major construction. Looking on the web the major construction is from the GSP to I-24.

http://www.state.nj.us/transportation/commuter/roads/I78/

Their maps page say that the construction limit is mp 50.59 to mp 52.80. So you could be lucky.

We had 9 people show up:

Tom P. and his wife and kids in a Disco I
Cristina C. in her Disco II
Bill in his Lightweight
Jason H. on a Motorcycle
Christina and I in Dora (SIII 88)

The group as a whole decided that it would be good thing to get the local LROs together on a monthly basis (at someone's home, shop day, some establishment, etc). I'd say the 4th Wednesday sounds good, but in November that is the day before Thanksgiving which is probably bad for people. Sometime in late Nov should be targeted. This can be discussed at Robesonia.

It's a Buell XB12S There's a picture of it on the forum. Click on "Your Land Rover", and then "Your Personal Gallery". You can also see what my Classic looks like, in case you forgot.
