Mr. Charles Kennedy (Krankieburgh): Would the Prime Minister care to
comment on a report in today=3Fs Guardian that he: =3Farrived late for a
meeting with Jacques Chirac, smelling of alcohol, and with body language
suggesting a total disregard for the rights of ethnic minorities, lone
parents and laboratory animals=3F?

Thanks - looks good. I hadn't thought of Shoe La. Though I may try
Holborn Viaduct, Newgate St, Warwick Lane, to avoid Lugate Hill.

Thanks. I know I said fast, but isn't Farringdon St a bit on the hairy
side?

Willing to be corrected, it's at least 15 years since I last cycled
down it.

Not as nice as Grays Inn Road which is why I prefer it over Farringdon
Road (plus Farringdon Rd doesn't go past Condor Cycles on the way ;-)).
The only difficult bit to negotiate then is Holborn Circus.

That's a good route too and avoids the down Shoe Lane and up Ludgate Hill.

Have you tried the journey planner on

http://www.tfl.gov.uk/cycles/routes/

Looks like you can turn off the public transport options and get a
cycle route. Haven't tried it myself yet as I rarely cycle in London.

It gives odd cycle routes whenever I've tried it.
http://www.cyclemaps.com is a much better option IMO.
