Been trying to memorise a route to Brighton. I've been heading out through Kent so it's a little East of the Classic route, but Croydon and specifically South Croydon reminds me of my ex so no thanks. This route misses out Turners Hill which is a little sad but it's definitely bumpier so slightly more interesting for the legs. Also descending Titsey Hill is a lot more fun than climbing up. Lots of wild/naturally occurring roadie scum at the start. It was also really fun to fumble my way between East Grinstead (although East Grinstead was not fun) and Lindfield - what a fine section of England. Here's the route http://ridewithgps.com/routes/2858137
If any of you think I'm missing out some obvious nice lane near this way (obviously Blackhorse Lane and Lonesome Lane are fab but on the wrong side of the M23) then colour me interested. Oh and here's a hipster pic from my success yesterday, judiciously cropping out the pier booming out the Harlem Shake to my left and some rough-hewn coastal types to my right:
