Birmingham (Garretts Green) #2342 Free
This single-stage route covers 10.1 miles in about 39 minutes, running through Kitts Green, Kingshurst, Fordbridge, Chelmsley Wood and Castle Bromwich with speeds from 20 to 50 mph. It has just 1 traffic light, far fewer than most other routes from this centre, so roundabouts and junction turns matter more here.
Watch Out For
- The 5 roundabouts: give way to the right and signal left on exit.
- An even split of 7 left and 7 right turns, so check mirrors and lane position before every junction.
Route Features
- Roads include Garretts Green Lane, Cooks Lane and the A452.
- A bike lane sits on the route, so check for cyclists.
Test Manoeuvres
- Practise the pull up on the left near the start.
Key Tips
- With only 1 traffic light, expect to judge gaps at roundabouts yourself.
- Match your speed to each sign as the limit changes between 20 and 50 mph.
