The start point of the route is located to the south of the Grand Pier at Weston-super-mare, leads out of town via Uphill and onwards along the A370. Rthe route picks up the A38 and continues on this road until the outskirts of Taunton. The finish point is just before the turn towards Durston on the A361.
A single Strava segment has been created to include this route, and this will be used to determine the best time.
General Advice; The start point would be best approached from the northern side, possibly using the sea front approaching the start point as a warm up, although expect to pause at the pedestrian crossing. At the end point, I would suggest going around the corner and at least as far as the M5 bridge to ensure your GPS device includes the end point.
