You could take some ideas from each to make a moderate version. Main this is what you are willing to put up with - either side of Strood / Rochester is about as bad as cycling gets, which is why the bumpy version goes so far south as most lanes within 10/15 south of there are awful awful awful. But to be honest the bumpy version is a great ride, and road only (if you discount the seawall after Reculver to Birchington)

Thanks very much, appreciated - I'll give those a peruse over the weekend. I've ridden a bit down near Strood and Rochester so I know what you mean! A few rides I've found cover that seawall section from Reculver onwards - how paved and rideable is it? I'm not expecting 40kph, but is it decent and safe enough to maintain a reasonable pace on a paved surface, as I'll be on road bike?

I'd change this to Lewisham>>>Chislehurst>>>Crockenhill>>>Knatts to cut off a few KM

Hey gang, anyone got a decent roads only route from London to Margate (or close enough to that I can rejig)? I'm going to ride it from North London over Christmas and lots of the routes I've found so far seem to go on trails / offroad sections and I can't work out how passable they are - I'm after a fastish road only route, but off busy roads as far as poss. Cheers!
