Not my favorite. The area at the 401 is awful, especially coming south under the bridge as cars come flying down the off ramp at 70 and try to get into the left lane too fast, and going north isn't fun as you need to cross the westbound onramp lane south of the bridge, then get across the eastbound onramp going under the bridge. Drivers don't seem to like it when I take the lane there. Eglinton to Lawrence is a crappy stretch, full of potholes and crappy road, aside from that Bloor to York Mills is no problem and north of the 401 is fine as well, mainly that sheppard to Yorkmills stretch is full of drivers in a hurry to get on/off the 401. The ride north is basically all uphill to Sheppard.
