yeah, that bit is terrible. it's great very early on as you can get a fast uninterrupted ride but bit hairy in the afternoons when there can be a fair bit of traffic (and they drive pretty fast around that section). why dont you just cross it? eg after climbing staple la just go straight across down coombe la. might cut your loop by 6+kms but plenty of options playing around the hills sth of guildford rd if you want to stick to the same dist.
my regular loop crosses the main roads
