I must've done some of those courses. There's that one and there was another one on the A413 that used to start and finish further south. Like, you started under an overpass or something. I used to train on that road every Sat and Sun. It's fast but full of knobheads so the single lane bits were always joyful, given British driver's love of cyclists.
I've seen a few car crashes on the Wendover and some proper dickhead moves so yeah, it does seem to be a bit of a local race track or something. Also has some shit head throw something at me from the train station. I rode up and around to see if I could hurt someone but they'd fucked off. It might've won me some events but I don't miss doing those long miles around all the A roads out there.

They still run events on that road, they just start in Missenden rather than Amersham. Hillingdon Triathletes run an evening 10 on the Amersham road course in the Summer. H10/4 is the course code

There's the H25/4 version as well, but there aren't many of those run, I don't think? https://ridewithgps.com/routes/198079?lang=en

Driving on the Wendover bypass is horrific (the width means some idiots feel the need overtake each other REALLY badly), but I didn't find it too bad to ride, strangely?
