Alder Rd looks pretty direct but how evil will the hill be with a gear ratio of 3.2?
I used to ride the first option (but starting from Wallisdown) to get down to The George Roundabout. The worst part was navigating that roundabout. Coming back up the hill to Wallisdown Rd can seem sketchy as you need to be in the right hand lane, but the traffic is normally heavy enough at rush hour (assuming this is a commute?) that you can keep up with it.
Riding along the sea front would be nice though! But not allowed during the summer :(
