Are you going along City Road/Pentonville Road for that bit?

If so, Try this instead:

From Commercial Street, go to Old Street island, then over onto Old Street. Carry on forward onto Clerkenwell Road, past Farringdon Road, and turn right at the Yorshire Grey Pub onto Grays Inn Road. Take the left at the first set of lights onto Guildford St, right onto Landsdown Terrace, then right at the island onto Hunter street. Brings you out on the Euston Road opposite the British Library.

Much, much quicker than the ring road, especially during the congestion charge period. Watch out for the lumpy Hunter Street tho.....almost throws you off the bike!

I think you lost her at 'Try this instead'
