Yeah don't be afraid of the A-roads. Some have really nice hard shoulders for you to ride on and lovely countryside to look at so you don't even notice the cars (A259 Portsmouth to Brighton for example). Some however are scum (A12 for example) and are best avoided, as theres always lots of angry fast moving traffic (and just Essex to look at).
Sounds obvious, but plan your route around rush hour.
