This single-stage route covers 8.19 km in about 27.9 minutes, heading south from the centre through Seven Kings and Redbridge into Barking and Dagenham and Becontree at 20 and 30 mph. It is one of only three routes at Goodmayes with marked cycle lanes, and it leans heavily on right turns, eleven of them against eight lefts. It reaches down Bennett's Castle Lane toward Lodge Avenue before looping back via Green Lane.
