• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

AVOID I75/71 in the Cincinnati/NKY Area on Weekends

CyncySpyder

Teddys favorite human
I know there are a lot of SpyderLovers traveling from all over the country:thumbup: to make it to LBBQ & the MV Owners Event:2thumbs: Just thought I'd share some local info to help save some of you a lot of Headaches/Heartaches.
AVOID GOING THRU CINCINNATI ON INTERSTATE 75/71 on the WEEKENDS!!! Major road construction has the highway backed up for hours. During the week, it's not so bad, but they close all but 1 lane of I75/71 Northbound on the weekends:yikes: You can take 275 East in Florence Kentucky to avoid the worse of the construction, that is if you can even make it to that exit before you run into the backup. Last week, it was backed up from the Ohio river to south of Florence:yikes:

I know many of you North of KY may be heading home on Sunday from Maggie Valley, as Teddy & I will be, and I75 is a major thruway for most of us, so I'd hate to see so many Spyders caught in this :cus: I'd avoid at all costs :lecturef_smilie:

But hey, if you find yourself taking I75/71 thru Cincinnati:dontknow: wave to Teddy & I when you come across the Ohio River on the double decker bridge:2thumbs: as we live in the gray condos that are built up on piers right next to the river & the bridge:2thumbs: If I knew we'd be home by then, heck, I'd say stop on by for a visit:chat: Always good to meet fellow SpyderLovers:2thumbs:

The following is from the KY 511 traffic website: Good luck to all of you & hope you all have safe travels:2thumbs:
Between Grant, Kenton County Line and Boone, Kenton County Line. The road is being repaved. A lane is closed. Traffic is stop and go. Expect long delays. From 7:00PM EDT to 5:00PM EDT daily. Until September 30.

Came through there southbound today with no issues, but I-71 was backed up to the ramp off I-75. I'm sure it is a zoo during the weekends or rush hour.
 
Dave, thanks for the heads up and the info you sent me earlier on the traffic conditions. From Indianapolis we took IN 7 to US 421 to I64 in Frankfort and that was a beautiful route. We spent last night in Lexington. This morning we were planning on taking I75 all the way to Knoxville but I exited at 25E in Corbin and asked the others if they wanted to take the scenic route. We did and that was also a really nice road.

Ride safe everyone.
