The day starts with a full tank of petrol and an empty bladder! Fuel can be taken onboard from the Sainsbury fuel station and a full tank should be plenty enough for the whole trip.

With a quick scoot around the 10th century town of Guildford and getting onto the A322 you soon arrive within the Merrow Downs, these boasts some spectacular views and great walks and forms part of the Surrey Hills. After a stop at Newlands Corner cafe for breakfast, the first of four café stops, you will continue onwards to the A246, which has woodlands to the left, thick green trees lining the road and small rolling hills in the beautiful Surrey countryside, before you know it you arrive at the famous Ryka’s Café at the foot of Box Hill, here you can stop for refreshments. Within 5 minutes of leaving Ryka’s you are riding up the twisting hilly road up to Boxhill, at nearly 735 feet above sea level you are greeted with more fantastic scenic views, overlooking the amazing rolling hills you have just ridden, here you have just enough time for a quick photo opportunity, with or without the bike is the hardest decision you will have to make today!

Swiftly moving on you get onto the B2032 and cross over the River Mole; this is a tributary of the river Thames and flows through surrey for 50 miles to the Thames, continuing on the B2032 you head towards the beautiful Lowfield Heath Windmill, a grade II listed post mill which was built in 1737/8. Unfortunately, in the early 1880’s it was superseded by steam power and so soon fell into dis-repair. It took a staggering 13 years of hard work and great skill to dismantle, repair and re-erect the Mill to its former glory that it can be seen in today. Here is one for the avid plane spotter, a very small detour from here and you are at Gatwick airport fence watching the planes, but because of the lush thick green foliage and peace and tranquillity of your current surroundings you wouldn’t believe that it was so close.

Soon after leaving Lowfield Heath Windmill, you cross over into the county of West Sussex and over the River Arun at 37 miles long, it is the longest river entirely in Sussex, you will also cross this once again just before arriving at Whiteways café where you have time to take on some lunch and refreshment, do remember that this is now an all vehicles pay for carpark.

After leaving Whiteway’s café heading across to the A286 you experience about 6 miles of some nice twisty roads with more great views. You also pass close by the famous Goodword park horse racing track where horse racing has taken place since 1802. Once on the B2124 you have hills to the right with some up to 770 feet above sea level this is when the road begins meandering downwards. Turning on to the B2146 you pass over into the county of Hampshire and into the ancient market town of Petersfield. This was built as a Norman “new town” at the end of the 11th century, once through Petersfield the final café stop is at Loomies Moto cafe where you can take on more refreshments if you so wish, this is a motorcycle themed cafe in a great bit of countryside with a great atmosphere for all bikers.

Taking the A272 and a short ride from Loomies you soon enter the lovely city of Winchester, on the edge of England's South Downs National Park, whose history can be trace back to the 1st century, this soon became an important settlement centre for the British Belgae tribe. The houses are predominantly of Medieval, Elizabethan and Jacobean era they line the streets with the Chesil Rectory being one of the oldest dated buildings there is in Winchester and dates back to between 1425-1450, and is one of Winchester's best preserved Medieval buildings. You also have Winchester Cathedral this was built from 1079 to 1532 as it currently stands and is among the largest of its kind in Northern Europe, it receives nearly 400,000 visitors in a single year and a lot of these come to see the tomb of Jane Austen, one of the greatest English novelists of all times who was buried here in 1871 at just aged 41. There is limited free motorcycle parking with Friarsgate undercover parking or St Peters a bit further away from the Cathedral.

After leaving the city of Winchester via the A31, a fast route is taken back of approximately 22miles.
