2.9 miles, 15-20 minutes. Intermediate, Busy roads near the start and The Plain.

* Out of the station, turn left and at end of Frideswide Square turn left along Hythe Bridge Street (sadly this can be busy).

* Caution on crossing of Worcester Street onto George Street.

* After Broad Street, this route heads down the twisty and delightful Queens Lane to avoid traffic, but be aware of pedestrians, in this area.

* After crossing the river on Magdalen Bridge take the middle cycle lane and head for the 2nd roundabout exit, Cowley Road. 

* Warneford Lane is difficult at present - giving parked cars safe distance means you need to 'hold the lane' and no traffic can safely pass you, which sometimes causes frustration for drivers who do not understand this. In July 2022, the parking will be removed and replaced with a protected cycle lane.
