A 6.5-mile residential route staying within the Shirley area, about 28 minutes. Loops north through Scribers Lane, Robin Hood Lane, and back via Priory Road. All 30 mph with a 20 mph section. 6 roundabouts and 4 traffic lights.

Watch Out For

  • Scribers Lane. Long residential road with tight bends and parked cars. Requires careful speed control.
  • Robin Hood Lane. Cars parked on both sides create a slalom effect. Give way to oncoming traffic at pinch points.
  • Baldwins Lane. Joins a busier road. Ensure you check properly before emerging.
  • 14 right turns compared to 9 left turns. Practice right-turn positioning and timing.
