Reading #2112 Free
Route 2112 runs 10.0 miles in about 30 minutes as a single stage, reaching well beyond the city into Shinfield, Arborfield and Arborfield Cross before returning to Whitley Wood. Limits climb from 20 up to 50 mph and there are only 9 sets of traffic lights, among the fewest at the Reading centre, so the pressure comes from open road speed rather than queues.
Watch Out For
- Ten roundabouts, including large multi lane ones on the fast dual sections.
- Two give way lines where traffic from the right is already moving quickly.
- Rural bends on Swallowfield Road with limited forward view.
- Repeated limit changes between 40 and 50 mph on the country stretches.
Route Features
- Fast running on the Shinfield Eastern Relief Road.
- Village 30 mph sections along Reading Road.
- Only 1 left turn and 3 right turns, unusually few for this office.
Test Manoeuvres
- Pull up on the left back near the industrial estate.
Key Tips
- Build speed promptly on the 50 mph sections, hesitation there is marked.
