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?
Sweet! It's a stunner, some lovely proper Kentian pubs on the way, hops strung across the bar etc and nice gardens. The Neptune on the beach in Whitstable is an institution, always seem to have good live music when I go and great atmosphere on a Friday night...
