Guilford to Shoreham again has the issue of not being a loop. The SDW is over 100 miles with over 12000ft, it is tough, I've done it twice, once in 2 days (nice} and then again in one (brutal) but again it is not a loop and I don't think anyone is proposing the whole of the SDW in one day for this ride.
There are certainly possibilities to start in Winchester and do about 20 miles on the SDW and then loop back on the road. There is a large park and ride just off the M3 in Winchester £3.50 all day!
25 miles from Winchester gets you to Queen Elizabeth Country Park on the SDW taking in Beacon Hill, Old Winchester Hill and the famous downhill rush of Butser Hill. Then there's a dozen quiet country roads back to Winchester from there.
