Yes, i've only done it southbound so far, and it was fine. I might try
the Archway/Highgate route northbound tomorrow, which will bring me
through it the other way.


There is only one 'interesting' part of that journey - it's just before
where the A1000 and A1 split. A tasty little 'S' bend or chicane that is
one-way.

Best approached in the Primary position at about 20mph.
Lean to the left then lean to the right.
If you're not in the middle and in control of the road the drivers will
take the ****. Cyclists trying to keep to the left down Archway Road and
then work over to the right usually end up having to compete with the
traffic for the A1.

About half a mile further on you get Bishops Avenue on the left which
spews out the rat-runners - beware of the usual 'pull out in to the road
to block anything coming down the hill' - which is generally O.K. for
things that can stop quick from 30mph but bikes at that speed need a
little more time.
