Any North Circular commuters on here?

[Doovy]

Right, all you Londoners!

I commute just about every day to university in Harrow from my house in South Woodford along the A406 (North Circular) westbound towards Wembley about 9 - 11 in the morning, and i often see lots of bikers on my travels to and fro.

just wondering if anyone else on here may be travelling around the North Circ around the same sort of time!

i love the queues early morning coming up to Golders Green turn off, lots of lovely filtering which i usually join up with a few other bikers on the way too

so... anyone here!?

Me!!

I usually join the NCR at Henlys Corner and go all the way round to just before Chiswick roundabout! Then back again in the evening! Filtering is the way of life on this road!

ah cool, i go past Henlys Corner around 9.30ish on thurs and fri and about 11.30 usually on mon and tue!

the filtering up to the lights there is a bit mental, 3 very narrow lanes...

I dont commute on it, but can often be found buzzing around from Chiswick to Brent Cross, Do wave if you see a Red ZX6R

I join it from the A12 on the Redbridge Roundabout and come off on the roundabout where the A13 crosses through, near Beckton/East Ham.

I also see a ton of bikes going down the A12, which I join from the A127 at Gallows Corner. A guy was behind me at a set of lights today, started drumming on his tank, then as we pulled away, he overtook and did a nice wheelie. Wonder if he comes on here at all...

sorry for the thread dredge....

just wondering if anyone has advice on using A40 & A406 for a commute from Hammersmith to Woodford Green?

I am a newbie so currently coming across town on the A503 / Euston Road and A40 to Shepherds Bush and then down to Hammersmith.

all advice appreciated.

thanks

Advice? Find something to amuse yourself - the A406 is an incredibly boring road. I went there on Monday to the Ace Cafe at Brent Cross - I was bored off my ass when I go there, that A406 just keeps going and going

I reckon your current journey will take the same amount of time as going round the NCR. Also using the Nth Circular you'll see your fuel bill rise.

If you've got a bike that's 500cc+ then worth giving it a try - anything smaller it'll take you longer than your present route.
