Wholly Moley - ventured down the A41 today

Generally I have been riding back roads as they are so much quieter, however today my route brought me to travel south alonmg the A41 for 6 miles.
That was most definitely an education!!
I wouldnt go as far as to say i was terrified but I was certainly a little more than perturbed!
I have read comments on here about lorries sucking you towards them, and only now do I understand what it means.
There is a trade off as ever I suppose - but as you guys will already know the road surface was SO much better.
Still its another milestone met, after all you cant avoid A roads totally really.

there have been various threads on high-speed / dual carriageway riding....for what its worth I ride a bit on the A13 and actaully find it safer then the cyclepath ! you just have to be really on the ball !0

It hasn't put me off as such, but has made me realise one has to be vigilant or as you say, on the ball.0
