The Wrong Way Back 2017 (TWWB2017) Day 1
Event info
Day 1 - Wincanton to Porlock , 70 miles and 5277 feet of climbing.
The Wrong Way Back follows a 550 mile route starting in Wincanton, Somerset (UK) and heads north to Porlock where the route then heads down the north coast to Lands End. The route then heads back from Lands End along the south coast to Weymouth, Dorset (UK). The final day the route takes riders up to Portland Bill before heading back inland to Wincanton.
The 550 mile route is ridden over 8 days and riders will climb a few hills along the beautiful but brutal South West UK's Coastline.
TWWB is a physically and mentally tough challenge, however riders who have taken part in the last 3 events has come back for more.
Please note this is a multi day event and you can only sign up for the full 8 days.

But... the last is only not the case with drivers on normal roads because driving on the cycle path / footway / rolling a vehicle up there is seen...
If only!
I think you're missing an opportunity to pack even more tech into it - add accelerometers that can detect whether they're pedalling or stepping....
Thanks. I guess the question is "need". If the road is busy, it sounds like it is a desired route between places? In which case (given this an...
Don't know what you mean. I thought my suggestion was entirely practical.
