Also recommend Whistable/Kent in general, you still get the coastal loveliness, a new route (if you're familiar with Brighton ride) and some lovely countryside. This route
is great, especially if you get a train out to somewhere near the M25 to cut out the London exit. Lots of it on Pilgrims Way which is a beautiful (and historic) road. There is then a really nice off-road cycle path to Canterbury and you could plot a nice route back through Kent from there... Whitstable is such a charming little town and massive foodie destination which I reckon (from your other contributions on here) might appeal?

Great shout (and good reading on the foodie weak side)!
I think I will save that for warmer months, also because I want to study the route to see if it can be done with a road bike.

I'm borrowing that Whitstable route. Would probably pick it up around Otford but everything further East is new to me. Cheers!

(and @PhilPub) Thanks!
I did the Brighton and back several times, last of which two weeks back. But the idea of reaching out to Hastings and then loop around Eastbourne/Alfriston is kind of what I was thinking so far.. I'll see if I can develop it a bit
