B500

Went through it a couple of years ago, was quite disappointed because of the high volume of traffic especially groups of articulated lorries with traffic tailbacks.
Spent most of the time negotiating the slower moving traffic than enjoying the road.
 
I have been here many times and it can be busy, especially at the weekend.

Ride it early in morning if you can and then go and enjoy the less busy surrounding roads.

To be fair I have always found it less busy than the roads of southern England but compared to most of France and the passes in the Alps it is very busy.
 
The B500 isn't the holy grail ..... it's the roads off the B500 that are .... :thumb2
 
But the B500 does keep a lot of idiots on one road leaving other roads in the area for the more discerning.
