Very wise. I think I had spotted the pattern after the first one and skipped some others.
I also missed out some of the climbing on the first day by doing a bit more main road. And I did the fast A road route into Seaton (the A35 descent is fun - busy A road, but fast downhill, but right turn to exit). But I got caught by the massive hill detour on the way into Truro...

I'd spotted this in advance and so I binned the official route in favour of climbing out of Seaton (penultimate control) and riding along the A3052 most of the way back.
