I was in front of you there, but do I remember us getting split by the lights on the roundabout. I know you were behind me towards the end of the new section.
I do think it’s very difficult to keep track of what speed you’re meant to be doing these days with the speed limits going up and down like a fiddler’s elbow. All the old rules about speed limits seem to have gone out the window.
#152 Straights are for fast bikes. Corners are for fast riders
The A374 appears to be Exeter St rather than Gdynia Way (the bit where you come out of Bretonside by the Esso station), and driving it on Google Earth there's a couple of fixed cameras on that bit .... wouldn't have thought anyone was going that fast though as traffic was heavyish? dunno, as said will have to wait and see what comes back
Of all the things I have ever lost, I miss my mind the most .....
Handle stressful situations like a dog - If you can't eat it or play with it, pee on it and walk away

Oops, just checked - Gdynia way is also the A374 ..... but google only has the old road layout, so cant look for cameras along that bit ....

Think I remember that section, I marked the roundabout prior to it then the road dropped down and hooked a left. Saw the average speed camera signs and slowed right down trying to work out where they had started (since I'd not been slow through the corner). Then the rest of the pack was disappearing off so I sped up though.. fingers crossed I didn't speed up too much.
yep they are speed over distance along there and they have also caught a LOT of people going along there as it use to be a 40mph. Its been in the local paper and everything about people getting tickets there. As i live in plymouth i always try to avoid that road pluss if you was on the bike you could of gone the old way along the bus lane and miss that bit out as i tend to do and its much quicker
