good route?
Can anyone who knows South London well advise on the below please? (and I know I'm pushing my luck posting this on a friday night when I need an answer by tomorrow morning, but I'd planned to get the train as it hadn't occured to me to bike there :?
I need to get to Catford Hill tomorrow morning, and though I'm much more confident in traffic, I'd rather not spend the morning stuck in traffic jams through major high streets and shopping areas. Google I guess has suggested the best route by car, but is this going to be ok by bike? Are there many hills?

And for any stalkers out there I've just changed the start point to my office rather than my house... :? :P0

Sorry I don't know all the route but I have ridden from Dulwich to Catford along the A205 and you will have a small hill up to the Horniman museum (it is marked on your map) and then it is pretty much all downhill into Catford from there - will take you about 5-10 mins,
The road surface is good and there is a bus lane along most iof the way - traffic should be light enough on a saturday morning.
hope this helps"He was pedalling slowly in the middle of the street, reading a newspaper which he held with both hands spread open before his eyes. Every now and then he rang his bell without interrupting his reading"0 -

I've written a 'report' of this morning's epic journey on my blog, but it's way too long to post here. If anyone is desperate to read it, PM me and I'll send you the link.0

Well I was going to retain a degree of privacy, but the remembered that I posted a link to it yesterday anyway when I was practising posting links :oops:

I guess it wouldn't be too difficult to search out anyway, so I may as well make it easier 0 -
Hmm, we have to sign up to fetch to view it? I'd rather sign up to a furry site than a running site
