And that's kind of the point isn't it, it's not a nice road to ride.

Neither is the E2 and you'll still happily ride that in a race? I pop onto the A31 to get home a bit quicker towards the end of a ride sometimes, but I won't plan a ride on it.

Any road with cars on it is not "nice" to ride. When do cars every contribute to a better riding experience? Why do you race on the E2 if you won't 'ride' on it?

I don't want any road banned to bikes. It's encouraging the creeping death that cars are the right thing to be using and should not happen.

I've only ridden the V718 once, and it was a nice sunny day, but I thought it was a reasonably nice road to ride down. Definitely nicer to ride on than the single carriageway road I was warming up on. OK, I'd prefer a traffic-free smooth winding road through fields full of mooing cows, but if it was a choice between the A63 and Hundred Foot Bank, I'd take the A63.
