This 15.23 km route takes around 33 minutes and shares top billing as the longest at Colwick, with a 60 mph leg that no shorter route here offers. It pushes out to Stoke Bardolph and Rivendell along Stoke Lane, while also working Colwick, Netherfield, Carlton and Gedling at 30 and 40 mph.

Watch Out For

  • The 60 mph national-limit section near Nottingham Road where speed and observation must stay disciplined.
  • A cycle lane requiring a left mirror check.
  • Two roundabouts, give way to the right and signal left on exit.

Route Features

  • Extended 40 mph driving around Victoria Road.
  • Five left and six right turns over a long loop.

Test Manoeuvres
