Route 1372 covers 12.18 km in about 32 minutes as a single stage through Cowley Airfield, Littlemore, Florence Park, Donnington, Iffley Fields and St Clement's. With only two left and five right turns it has the fewest turns of any route here, and it tops out at 50 mph rather than the 70 seen elsewhere.

Watch Out For

  • A roundabout where you give way to the right and signal left on exit.
  • A give-way junction onto a busier road.
  • A long 50 mph dual carriageway with fast-moving traffic and eight speed-change points.

Route Features

  • The main Eastern By-pass Road carrying heavy through traffic.
  • City approaches along Iffley Road with cyclists and bus stops.
  • A marked bike lane shared with riders.

Test Manoeuvres

Key Tips

  • Match the 50 mph flow and check mirrors well before each junction.
