London Loop

It's relatively OK until the A1 junction, that A1 junction is carnage at the best of times, I can't imagine riding it at night in the rain! After that there's that long slog uphill through the tunnel followed by miles and miles of dual carriageways. Did you ride all along the bit of the A406 that has junctions with A12/M11 etc? If so, fuck me is all I can say, people don't hang about on those roads.

Yeah, tose bits were the nadir. The first few miles weren't too bad up to about level with Kilburn, the M1 turn-off was closed as there was an accident with a car transporter and a bin lorry, so a lot of traffic didn't turn off, but some stretches were very quiet, in fairness. Stayed on A406 the full way till about Ilford.
