Looks like I can leave Thurs night after work around 5:30pm so I' am thinking of Lynchburg, VA as a stoping point then hit the road Friday morning to Concord, NC. What's the traffic like down that way mapquest says it's a little over 3 hrs. Is there any where I should avoid.

[Bigbuds1]

I have to work Thursday night (6p to 6a), then a couple hours sleep. I want to be on the road by 10. If you can hang till then we can ride down together, but I understand if you like an early start.
