| Cumulative | Distance | Where | Notes | Direction | Elevation | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0km | 0km | Trent Brige | Starting in front of County Hall, head East along the riverside path, Under the main roads, with views of the City and riverside buildings on the other side of the River. Nottingham Forest's 'City Ground' - actually in the County - is above you and on your right. I'm a Notts County fan, their ground is across the river. | NE | 33° | 29m |
| 0.78km | 0.78km | Lady Bay, West Bridgford | The area on the L is called 'the Hook' - don't ask me why! | ESE | 106° | 28m |
| 2.93km | 2.15km | Holme Pierrepoint | Through the Water Sports Centre, watching the canoeists if you wish. Home Pierrepoint has a 2km rowing course, once the finest in the country, & could be invigorated for the 2012 olympics. | SE | 122° | 24m |
| 4.79km | 1.86km | Holme Pierrepoint | Past Holme Pierrepont Hall on the L - spelt differently to its village - Fine 16th C brick house http://www.holmepierreponthall.com/ | E | 79° | 26m |
| 5.6km | 0.81km | Holme Pierrepoint | E | 87° | 22m | |
| 6.98km | 1.39km | Radcliffe-on-Trent | Turn Left in the Centre of the village, after the church, and start climbing, over the railway line and on out of the village towards Newton | NE | 37° | 28m |
| 9.09km | 2.11km | Wonderful views of the Trent Valley, with the suburbs of Nottingham on the hills across the valley. I saw a balloon making it's way eastwards when I rode this. | E | 73° | 67m | |
| 9.86km | 0.77km | Shelford | A nice run down hill into Shelford | NNW | 330° | 53m |
| 13.56km | 3.7km | Gunthorpe Bridge | Cross from S to N side of Trent - Beware of the right turn into Gunthorpe off the busy A6097 over the bridge. Some good restaurants here. | NNE | 8° | 19m |
| 14.26km | 0.69km | Gunthorpe | Ride past the lock, the red cliffs of Redhill on the opposite bank. Follow bridleway (better with a suspension MTB) all the way along the river to Hazelford now. | ENE | 57° | 18m |
| 18.64km | 4.38km | Hoveringham | On the Left the extensive gravel workings are typical of the Trent Valley, once home to saxon boats and artefacts, now restored for wildlife, fishing and sailing. Across the river the autumn tres make a fine sight. | NE | 32° | 16m |
| 20.28km | 1.64km | You'll see the gliders here from Syerston Airfield, on the hill across the river. Fascinating to watch them tumbling down the sky. | NE | 30° | 19m | |
| 21.05km | 0.77km | Hazelford | Sharp L. Often interesting house boats here. Residential home for the elderly - really nice position but I doubt the residents can appreciate it. | NW | 302° | 15m |
| 22.68km | 1.62km | Bleasby | Right through the village, after the level crossing, stop for a cuppa and cake at the Manor Farm Tea Shoppe (yes - shoppe!). This is the furthest point, but the easiest stretch is over. | NW | 294° | 18m |
| 24.72km | 2.05km | thurgaton | The Red Lion has a good reputation for food, the village contains the old St Pancras Station (London) clock, rebuilt by an ex-employee, on the side of a private house in the village. About 5m across! | SSW | 187° | 22m |
| 25.12km | 0.39km | Thurgarton /Hoveringham | After the railway line you can if you wish, turn R onto a bridleway across gravel company land - not really worth it, and not for road bikes. | S | 160° | 20m |
| 26.55km | 1.44km | Hoveringham | SSW | 191° | 19m | |
| 28.38km | 1.83km | You can, if you wish, turn L here onto a bridleway and carry on to Caythorpe and Lowdham, rejoining this ride a 'Ton lane'. Don't go up the dual carriageway though. | NW | 305° | 20m | |
| 29.28km | 0.9km | Gonalston | A quiet village with converted mill and fine farm shop on the main road - take care crossing the road, it's very fast. | NNW | 316° | 22m |
| 30.77km | 1.49km | Epperstone | Look out for the bridleway sign on the L, drops through the hedge into a lovely little path by the Mill race; what I'd give to live here! | SW | 219° | 29m |
| 31.07km | 0.29km | Lowdham | Turn L down the village street, not the dual carriageway. After 500mturn R into Ton Lane and carry on, across the lights and up the hill | S | 164° | 28m |
| 32.67km | 1.6km | Follow Ton Lane all the way into Lambley | WSW | 232° | 31m | |
| 35.21km | 2.54km | Lambley | Lambley suffered floods in the rains of 2007 - the stream overflowed | WSW | 239° | 55m |
| 36.02km | 0.81km | Lambley | The climb starts now! | SW | 203° | 71m |
| 36.81km | 0.79km | top of the Hill! | WNW | 281° | 97m | |
| 38.99km | 2.18km | Spring Lane (top) | Before the main road there is a good farm shop on the R. Turn L and up the slight hill towards Nottingham. | SSW | 194° | 115m |
| 39.91km | 0.92km | Arnold | Traffic lights with Gedling road and Arnold Lane - no not the Arnold Lane Pink Floyd sang about... | SW | 224° | 0m |
| 41.03km | 1.12km | Mapperley | Home and Dry - the last stretch is a busy - but flat again road into Nottingham | SW | 224° | 0m |
