The Downs Link is a good route for a social ride. You can cover a lot of ground quickly, but it is kind of boring. What astonished me is that no cafes have sprung up to serve all those cyclists passing by.
Late response, but there is the Milk Churn just off the Downs Link near Rudgwick that caters to cyclists and would recommend.
You can also jump off it at places like Cranleigh and there's shops and cafes right next to it.

If you take the equivalent kind of route in France, there's a cafe with toilets every mile or two.
Even the South Downs has cafes on the route.
