Funnily enough there are actually two B4027s, but neither are in Dorset. One in Oxfordshire and one in Warwickshire but not connected and never were.
Game: Name that road!

Yep, not the B4027.

I've searched every road in Dorset several times, and have yet to find a serious candidate. 
My next one's going to be really hard.

OK, I'll help narrow it down, since I've already mentioned Veloviewer, and posted this information in the VeloViewer thread:I've searched every road in Dorset several times, and have yet to find a serious candidate.

It's one of these roads

well that's narrowed it down a bit 
the B4027 in Warwickshire is now the B4428 Anorak off

Just needed the right clue...
Recognising that we're looking northwards was crucial.

That's the one! The C12...
Looking east on that ride:
Looking forward to what devilry you have in store

Hmmm. I woke up this morning thinking I'd picked the wrong one for the next puzzle. Then when I logged on I found I'd failed to post it. So I can change my mind.
When I found this picture I wasn't sure exactly where it was taken, but when I figured it out I realised I did ride this way once - or tried to anyway:

Devils Elbow, above Llanwrtyd Wells-Tregaron?

Do you mean the Devil's Staircase, the first of the severe climbs you hit heading west from Abergwesyn? It isn't that.

I think the one that's usually called the Devil's Elbow is a bit further south, between Sennybridge and Ystradfellte.Elbow, staircase, they're all the same
Thought it was a long shot.
Don't give up hope though. You might've been nearer than you think.

Well, it did look like Wales.
But I can't find it - looking at the shadows we're most likely looking East and nothing is an obvious match to the roads/forest land.
So I'll take a guess at the upper Severn Valley above Llanidloes, though I'm almost sure it's wrong.

No, you were much closer first time.
You confirm my impression, that it's quite difficult to find the match on this one, especially from the Ordnance Survey map. There are a couple of distractions.
