This 14.1 km route starts with the same southern detour through Dollis Valley Drive and the modern estate streets (Minotaur Drive, Hera Avenue, Minerva Way), then heads west through Northbrook Road to Barnet Gate Lane. It takes Barnet Road north, loops through Barnet Bypass and Rowley Lane, then returns via Wood Street and High Street.

Key Tips

In the Dollis Valley estate, watch for children darting out between parked cars. On Barnet Gate Lane, slow down well before bends - the 40 mph limit is the maximum, not a target speed for tight corners. Use the Wood Street roundabout as a chance to show confident lane discipline.
