West Didsbury (Manchester) #1571 Pro
One of the shortest tests at this centre, this 6.85 km route runs about 22 minutes in a single stage through West Didsbury and Didsbury at 20 to 30 mph. Its fifteen turns, split eight right and seven left, pack tight junction work into a compact loop rather than the long faster roads used further south.
Watch Out For
- Eight right turns against oncoming traffic in busy residential streets.
- A roundabout where you give way to the right and signal left on exit.
- A bike lane shared with cyclists near the main roads.
Route Features
- Short links along Lapwing Lane and Nell Lane connect back toward Barlow Moor Road.
- Thirteen sets of traffic lights across the loop.
Test Manoeuvres
- A pull up on the left before rejoining the flow.
Key Tips
- Take right turns only on a clear gap and keep to the 20 mph zones.
