Monday marathon, Bradford to Brighton & back in the day :) R1 style...

OK, whats the best way on the M25, around lunchtime, anticlockwise are the
roadworks still there near M40 etc? Obviously, i'll be hitting the M25 at
the M1 intersection...

I like going the clockwise direction, that time of day cause any strife?

avoid Heathrow side, the road widening from M1 down to Heathrow means even
on a bike your Filtering for the whole of it
I'd suggest the A1, as more fun with roundabouts to break up the bordum,
then over the QE2 Bridge.

Yeah, i was thinking the A1, not many coppers about & I know it well enough
for speed cams etc.

I wont make the mistake i did the first time i went over the bridge on a
bike...pulled into the services to get some money etc, only to find on the
way out there's a sign saying bikes are free.....

The M25 is solid roadworks from the M1 junction to the M40. Painful.

The M1 is mostly roadworks from Leicester to London.

As suggested, take the A1 and Dartford crossing. Unless you like
spending several hours filtering through stationary traffic, anyway.

Eh? I did J21A to J14 and back yesterday and didn't hit any roadworks
at all, also the 50 limit has been lifted between Nottingham and
Sheffield so it's now 4 lanes at 70 (or higher, as the cameras weren't
fitted last time I looked).
