The main route across the south of town, hostile roadspace with a lot of shared-use path but many side accesses. Route

Getting round the corner onto Long Road can be done more easily on the share-use path. However, with high numbers of pedestrians (at this time), and lots of (blind) side accesses and prioritised side roads, I do find it easier to come off the shared-use path quite quickly. Passing the large entrance to Robinson Way is a great example of prioritised side roads destroying the capabilities of shared-use paths.
Do notice the pedestrian crossing pinch point causes conflict between people cycling and driving. It's worth getting into the primary position well before it and then using the exit to get onto the shared-use path for the bridge. The side accesses are minimal and the relative speeds are much more here.
After the bridge, the usual ""can't decide"" infrastructure issue exists. If you don't feel happy on the road here, use the shared-use path through the junction where the side road is prioritised. I stick with the road which at least has a protected access.
After the junction all cycle traffic is taken into the road which narrows. Again, take the primary position if you feel you are going to get poor passes. I get scared enough by some approaching cars that I use the pavement.
At the junction at the end, the crossing to the other side of Trumpington Road is from the middle of Long Road. You can access from either lane (sadly by getting off).
