Also just after Forestdale, take the A275.
Forest Row perhaps, at Wych Cross. Helluva long way round to go to S'oton though.

Anyway, my go now: Purley->Reigate->Dorking->A24->Beare Green->A29->Billingshurst->A272->Winchester. Do J10-J11 on the M3 then use the B3335 and A335 to finish up with.

Don't bother with the M3, come out of winchester on the A3090 towards hursley, that takes you down through Hursley to Romsey, then you can jump straight on the M271 and 3 or 4 miles later you can go along the A35 and your right in the city centre without going through any big patches of low speed limits.

Previous routes I've done:

A30/A31/B road around Eastleigh - OK, there are some **** pounding bumps on the A31 but this was perfectly doable on a scooter and few speed cameras. Plus you can pick up the M3 at pretty much any point if you are running late.

A3(M for bits of it)/A27 - fast enough, some nice corners but fairly dull for most the way.

Most of the time I was trying to get there quickly rather than having fun, but these routes are both reasonably fast and have at least some challenges. Never found much of a fun road but there must be some interesting B roads etc on the way. Seem to remember A32 (Alton -> Hedge End) wasn't too bad, depends which part of soton you're heading to.

True, but it will make me trust my tyres even less. Damn stock crap...

And besides, seeing my friend is just an excuse to ride
