offthegrid...have you ridden this route before? By your avatar it looks like you ride a road bike which rides so much different than a mtn bike Kitsun06 mentioned she road. Give it a try anyway, maybe on a non work day and see how it feels.

I see you live in Allentown. I love PA. Some of our favorite getaways are going to Jim Thorpe. We use to scuba dive in Dutch Springs where I also got certified, but since biking regularly for the past 5 years, we do not have the time for scuba anymore.

Anyway, keep us updated on your commute.
