I think I'm doing the 160k Devon coast-to-coast in May. Devon hills ≠ Cornish hills for sure but it's lumpy enough.
TBH I find cycling in Cornwall a bit of a PITA. Yes it is beautiful but many of the roads are quite tight, congested and sometimes you don't want your ride to be entirely outofthesaddle hill reps.

Yep. My coach keeps setting me '4 hours in zone 2/3 with threshold intervals' and stuff, but I literally can't do that because of the terrain. I'm still getting a handle on pacing by power here, but if you go on HR you'll sometimes spend 50% of the time in your threshold zone (and a good chunk above). It's crazy.

Plymouth-Ilfracombe? Did that a few years ago, it's a nice ride! I get what you mean re Cornish cycling, I guess I just think I should be making more of the fact I've somewhere to stay down there...

Nice, I'll have to see if I can make that this year. The climb out of Mousehole is quite brutal too!
Edit to add - looks like it may have been a one off... But reminds me to look into audaxes in the area. Cheers!
