Seriously, WTF is with this Weather?

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

I'm hoping to be at blue tonight. Unless I get an appointment which screws me over

Damn TP4 you are really trying hard to get your most dedicated PASR title back from Phillycore.

[larrytbull]

what model is the new board?

[larrytbull]

Ride wildlife 159 wide. My first time ever riding a non park board

Nice.  

Flat rocker board,  very predictable. at that size and setback, should be awesome if we  ever get some Powder days.

 

I have a few flat rocker boards.  they were my goto boards last year..  this year i am trying CRC with my NS ripsaw.  So far loving the transition from rocker

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

My first time on a rocker as well

Your old board was like 5+ years old right??

[larrytbull]

My first time on a rocker as well

GSS and VTMark told me you ride very fast (I'm a slowpoke)  You may find the tips chatter a little under speed in  the hardpack,  I dont ride fast enough for it to happen to me,  but other than that flat rocker is a great profile

[phillycore]

Pretty much everyone on this site skis/rides as fast as possible..... I'm definitely the exception to that rule

[larrytbull]

I ride as fast as i am capable. But that is no where near as fast as the board is capable

I wasn't even in a tuck at all this last weekend.

[phillycore]

I'm too fat to get into a tuck unless it involves a roll.... Usually with butter

Me too. Always bring up the rear of the conga line

I ski as fast as is reequired to make turns on whatever radius ski I'm on.  Usually, they're 24m, and I have to ski faster.  When I'm on my 12.2m slalom skis, GSS always bitches how slow I am.

I will take the lehighton exit for blue tonight. I've been to blue hundreds of times in my life but never went that way. This is unchartered territory, wish me luck

 

I like taking that exit....don't have to deal with rt 22, Whitehall, etc.

is it any longer / shorter than using 22 to 145?

looking for alternate ways to get there myself

It's 6 and a half dozen. A little bit of time savings during weekday rush hours. On a weekend with no traffic maybe a few minutes longer drive.

I looked it up on google maps a while ago. I think 22/145 was shorter by just a little bit. I was kind of suprised. Anytime 22 might be the slightest bit messed up, i would really consider going to 209.

so...twice a day, 5 times a week?

[JFskiDan]

so...twice a day, 5 times a week?

Yes. Except for when i get on that road. Never fails, 5 minutes before i get on it, theres a back up. Same with 76 from valley forge to the city.

[enjoralas]

Start looking for those alternate routes this season for when FedEx opens over by the airport. You think 22 is bad now? Wait until they add all those trucks that have to get from Airport Rd to the extension or 78.

That's being kind. 95% of the time I have driven that road was on weekends, and in the morning it is fine, but a lot of times in the afternoon its a disaster .... especially during the holiday season.

it's an inconsequential amount of traffic when compared to the overall volume of traffic on 22.  Also, the majority of their departures/arrivals are late night/early AM, not during rush hour.

[poconoceancity]

I think it's quicker if 22 is backed up. It's also more scenic. That's my old exit to the pokes. I love the new one. 15 minutes quicker makes a huge difference.

Whats with the rock shrine at st davids?

I'm not sure that I would call 14,000+ vehicles daily "inconsequential," but to each their own.

 

"Citing the developer's traffic study conducted by engineering firm Pidcock Co., Hanover officials say the completed project is expected to generate 14,602 vehicle trips daily, including tractor-trailers, small-box delivery trucks and employee cars. The bulk of that traffic will travel south from the FedEx megahub through Hanover along Willowbrook Road, Race Street and Airport Road to Route 22, officials said."

Great news for the area. Think of all the new jobs!!! Remember there are many alternate routes to 22

Let me guess, you live in East Allen Township? 

 

The development of the otherwise unusable land is great for the Lehigh Valley.  If opponents of every large development project cited traffic concerns, we'd have thousands acres of fields with no additional jobs.  Additional traffic further re-enforces the need to expand 22's capacity...which, they are.  It's a "good" problem to have.
