At 15.23 km and about 33 minutes, this is the longest route at the Colwick centre and the only one to reach a 60 mph limit, running out to Stoke Bardolph and Rivendell via Nottingham Road. It also covers Colwick, Netherfield, Carlton and Gedling at 30 and 40 mph.

Watch Out For

  • The open 60 mph rural stretch on Stoke Lane where higher speeds bring longer stopping distances.
  • A cycle lane to check before moving over.
  • Two roundabouts giving way to the right.

Route Features

  • Long 40 mph runs near Trent Valley Road.
  • Five left and six right turns over a wide loop.
  • Rural-to-urban transitions demanding constant speed adjustment.

Test Manoeuvres

Key Tips

  • Build speed confidently to 60 mph but read the road ahead.
  • Lose speed early when the limit drops back to 40 and 30.
