Cycle route generator website that includes specific Strava segments (climbs)?

Wasn't sure where to post this, but anyway...

Is there anything out there, ideally free, where I could enter a few cat4 segments I want to climb and the clever website will give me suggestions as to how to link them up?

You could do it using the Strava route builder. Locate your start point, then move the map to the bottom of the first climb, and click, then move to the top of the climb and click, then move to the bottom of the next climb etc. The planner will then come up with the routes for you in between.

I don't know if you've cycled in the South Downs between Soberton/Warnford/Petersfield, but there are a number of summits, that have multiple roads heading towards them, that have cat4 segments.

I'm looking for a simple way to say which of those climbs I want to do on a ride, not necessarily in a specific order, but I'm hoping there is a clever program out there that suggests various ways of covering the climbs I want.

For example, let's say I fancied trying three climbs I've not done before...
https://www.strava.com/segments/12687584
https://www.strava.com/segments/5566547
https://www.strava.com/segments/8118823

It's only a basic example, but I'd love to find a tool that suggests how to link them. I say basic, because I normally like to hit more cat4s than that in a ride, having ridden out from SO18.

I'm just very conscious that there are so many climbs up there I've yet to try, but I tend to almost always do one of two core routes...
"River To Hilltop" and then "Round Butser" (sometimes heading to "Bell Hill To The Top" cat3 in-between), White Way
Up Beacon from one of the south roads, Old Winchester To The Top, Round Butser, Wheely Down

I want to broaden my local cat4 horizons, without stressing over what route to take, as I don't deal with anxiety/indecision too well!

Might this be your solution?

Not tried it, and was not aware of it until just now!

Thanks, heard of, but never looked into. Will take a peak
