Oxford (Cowley) #1373 Free
Route 1373 runs 16.51 km in about 31 minutes as one stage, heading east through Horspath, Wheatley, Holton, Forest Hill, Sandhills and Risinghurst. It carries the widest span of limits of any route here, six bands from 20 up to 70 mph, mixing tight village streets with fast open road.
Watch Out For
- Narrow village lanes off Wheatley Road with oncoming traffic and few passing places.
- A single roundabout where you give way to the right.
- The 70 mph open road where speeds change quickly.
Route Features
- Wheatley's High Street with parked cars and pedestrians.
- The fast Eastern By-pass Road joining and leaving at speed.
- A bike lane shared with cyclists near Headington.
Test Manoeuvres
- A pull up on the left near the centre.
Key Tips
- Adjust speed early between the 20 mph village and 70 mph road.
- Give way fully at the roundabout and read oncoming traffic on narrow lanes.
