Interesting post. But I think that's a typo above.

Nice try: I mean "they are back in 2025, they return, they have risen from the dead" :P
Duh. Sorry. Misread it. But anyway, it was interesting, thanks.
Have just ridden (route checking) the 'bottom' loop of the rebooted Kernow and Southwest 600 which a member of our pub ride group is organising in ten days (29/30 June).
Train to Truro and then, following the route accurately, down to Penzance and turn NE towards Newquay. I get to the Newquay road (A3075) when a yellow sign informs that the road will be closed from Monday for two weeks (!, NB whole point of route checking) and quizzing the lead worker determines that it'll be closed closed (surface being dug up) for about 2km.
Minor roads diversion duly ridden, 'left flanking' (iykyk), so riders who will be hitting that rbt after 285km on the Saturday evening - full value riders after dark - will not be confronted by a wtf moment. Heading for Camelford Hall (344km) for a sleep stop.

Lots of scenery (and a ferry) on/en route.
"600km cycling event starting from Exeter (Exeter M5 services). Controls at Bude, Looe, Penzance (Gulval), Newquay, Camelford (VH), Barnstaple (Sticklepath), Lee Mill nr Ivybridge, Paignton, and Cranbrook.
Start in Exeter and head west with a Cornish coast to coast and a ferry en route to Penzance! Sleep control in Camelford village hall on the 'Atlantic Highway'. Day two back to Exeter with new fun route skirting Dartmoor and via the Devon Riviera.
8.5 AAA?"
Couldn't you find the beach 😂
Looks nice and scenic. Those temps are too hot for me. Good attempt.
"Tour of the Hills" this weekend.
No massive hills in Surrey, but what looks like a relentless series of 'em.
