It doesn't quite go as far east as Pycombe, picks up the SDW at Upper Beeding, but basically, yes. This is the route I was following (without the leg to the beach)

Agree about the Downs Link - it was so tedious! Next time I'll do something different. Would be good to ride the bits to the East and West of the section I road. I'd quite like to do the bit from Guildford down towards Petersfield as it was quite pleasant, then head to Winchester and train back or something.
I'll also take a spare hanger and chain tool...

Is this the loop from Guildford via Pyecombe? If so, it's much better to ride to Pyecombe first and then head towards Shoreham. You can then finish by riding back up the Downs link, but to be honest, you gain nothing by doing that, it's just a boring, mostly flat, trail. If you want a bit of fun, loop back on yourself at Shoreham and then ride the other side of the Downs and then cross the ridge line and descend into Arundel. It's a similar distance, but much better riding. Then you can take the train home from Arundel.
