This road is one of the better ones to the west of Cambridge. People tend to drive a little slower, probably as it's not straight and quite narrow.
At the start in town, the parked cars make it quite narrow. Remember to ride outside of the door zone and be aware of people driving from behind that might try to make a bad pass as a result, despite the lack of room for such a move. I find a space to pull in, although the driver still fails to pull out where there's space, despite me trying to be nice to them.
The high hedges along the route mean you'll need to use ears as well to anticipate motor traffic. It's quite a fast surface and dips just before the village.
In Grantchester, cars parked along the opposite side of the road narrow the space considerably. Be aware of cars trying to pass in far too short a space between these cars, as happened here. I try to help the driver through after they almost ran into a parked car.
