I'm finding summoning up the energy required to negotiate traffic demoralising

Fuck me, so much of this! Biggest reason I dont cycle as much as I used to is the cunts in cars. I cant remember last time when I cycled on Layhams and a cunt didnt pass too close.

I started doing 'laps' of Crooms Hill since they put a modal filter in there but even at school times that road has impatient driving cunts.

Cunts all of them.

Stop fucking driving everywhere you cunts!!!

I tend to ride Gates Green> Nash Lane> Layhams because of this. Not foolproof but slightly better I reckon. Also, close passes are cool because cycling is an exTreMe sport.

Okay here are my thoughts:

Layhams = easiest/quickest/fastest/safest to GET TO but load of shite once on it.
Featherbed = ballache to get to OR can follow the same route as Layhams till Corkscrew roundabout and ride the bike path to the bottom of Featherbed; takes longer and a bit boring
Gates green = Shortlands, Coney hall, all okay BUT you either have to go on Layhams or Shire lane or through Downe. Downe is a car park on weekends. Shire lane traffic is lols too.

Now I just ride my 'gravel bike' on NCN21 all the way and do some sort of loop away from driving cunts. Still you get impatient cunts Churchfield/Back lane.

But, could be worse, could be in Surrey or Essex.
