Take a look at this stretch of road, and discuss where you'd ride, and how you'd deal with the traffic:

Here's a video of a bus overtake from Sunday, which was astounding to the oncoming car driver!!

Going northbound, it's easy, I'm rarely below 35mph, and usually over 40, so I'll take the whole lane. Southbound, it's steep, and I tend to only just about manage 5-10mph after a hard day's work. My mate takes the pavement, and he's a copper. I can't say I blame him, as it's a pretty intimidating piece of road with a 40 limit and very narrow.
