Granted... but still do'able.
I've done the north coast down to Perranporth, stopped for drink on the beach and then ridden back to Chard, all in one day.
Was a long old day though, might do something similar again this summer,

Also skirt round Devizes on some nice back roads.

I did a few sidecar races there with North Glos on the RAF airfield.
Widest start line I’ve ever been on. Mass drag race into the first corner.
