Do any of you lot commute along the Harrow Rd or use it a lot?
I am considering options for my best route to my new job (BBC White City) and am thinking about going along Harrow Rd from Euston Rd and then dropping down ladbroke Grove and across to Scrubs Lane.
I've never actually ridden that way before and it looks as if the A40 / Harrow Rd junction might be a bit of a deathtrap. Not that I mind busy junctions that much.
The obvious route for me (from Russel Square) is to go through Fitzrovia and then Marylebone High St to lancaster gate and then Notting Hill, Shep's Bush etc. Thing is, I always ride that way and am a bit bored of it. Also there are annoying roadworks up Wood Lane from Shepherds Bush which mean an annoying detour.
Right, I'm waffling and certainly running the risk of being told to piss off to bikeradar (where I would be advised to cycle along the canal or some stupid cycle path through hyde Park. I'd probably get some advice on caps to wear and recipes to cook as well. Hang on a minute, that sounds familiar...)
Anyway, any info / abuse gratefully received.
