The way points of this bicycle route:
Start Here
Lots of annoying speed bumps
Give way coming off Saxon drive (watch for traffic coming off roundabout), cross onto Noel road and immediately left at roundabout
Right turn immediately over bridge
Right turn at hotel then cross busy Uxbrodge road and get into cycle lane - not too bad thanks to traffic lights at main junction
Turn left onto North Circular at traffic lights - there is an option of going on pavement on west side but North Circular is not bad when quiet
Straight over - nice down hill to get up a bit of speed but watch for traffic as can be busy
As you come over hill, indicate like hell and move to right hand lane
Go on the outside of right hand lane and use pedestrian/cycle crossing to go through the middle of the roundabout - much safe than try to go round it
After using pedestrian/cycle crossing you can now get back onto road
Keep left at lights - if traffic heavy, recommend use pavement here as it can be tricky
left at lights - road narrows - keep your nerve
Watch for some lights at pedestrian crossing here
Hooray !
Use advance cycle way to get ahead of traffic - sit in middle of two lanes as left lane turns left and you are going straight on - not as bad as it looks
Watch for pedestrian lights at bottom of hill - a bit narrow
This turn is a bummer as on a hill and you invariably never have the lights - I usually get on right hand pavement and use pedestrian crossing to cross over onto Richmond Road
easy left turn - up on the pavement and off again if lights are red
A nice hill to get you warmed up
Road gets very narrow and/or parked cars - just hold your ground
Occassionaly go on pavement if busy here
We have arrived at start of loop
