FWIW here are my plans. I'll be turning round in Brighton fairly quickly, probably at the sight of the Madeira Cafe's sausages. Just long enough to gulp down a mug or two of sugary tea and some beans on toast.
I'll be heading back towards Sevenoaks (˜70km), with train cop-out options at Brighton (obviously: if feeling really bad/frozen), Hassocks, Hayward's Heath and if still alive and stupid there then pushing on to Sevenoaks for a train home to Sarf East London. If I don't cop out at Hayward's Heath then Second Breakfast planned for Lindfield for where the sausage rolls are to die for. If I do get as far Mt Sevenoaks then I expect that whatever ascent I choose (prob Hubbards Hill) will involve some pushing. I'm pretty slow so if there is a Team Slow and you happen to be on my route you may catch me up. If there's a Team Fast and you come my way I will wave to you as you pass. If anyone fancies a funereally paced trundle North after an unsociably quick turn-round they are free to join me.
I'm planning to go back over the Beacon unless local knowledge indicates otherwise.

Where in South East London are you heading to? I'm not on this ride but the Team Fast ride usual comes up through Croydon and then crosses over to places like Bromley, Orpington, Welling without going over anything nasty in the North Downs.

Catford/Honor Oak Park stations. I'm aiming for Sevenoaks cos the train from there is direct. I'm not planning to do any urban riding within the M25. If I was aming for Croydon then I'd probably get off and get on a train at Redhill or 3 bridges or somewhere like that ... maybe Caterham. That's another possibility, but it means changing trains on the way home.

If you don't fancy the Beacon, then use the cycle path alongside the A23 to Pycombe, then over Clayton Hill to Hassocks. Although I'm riding back, I'm almost certainly going via Horsham to visit family.
