    Loads of bikes down there today. Improved my best time by 15 secs. Expected better as have been training loads and the wind seemed to be mostly behind.

    Went out on Monday, legs were pretty heavy after riding solo from South London but managed a 7.05, 7.00 and 7.30 (I'd had it by the 3rd attempt!)

    Great times Mat with tired legs.

    I only managed 7'55 on Saturday, but it was after >70miles, so I'll not add my name to the list until I get a "fresher" time.

    Hi All

    Did Box Hill as part of a bank holiday ride wasn't sure of my exact time, think it was around 7.00 - 7.20. But with beautiful weather we had today decided to go the long way home (normal commute is 6miles, tonight 55 via box hill) managed 6.45 so not a bad effort compared to my previous time recorded on here :) Was absolutely shattered when i got home hadn't intened to ride for 3 1/2 hours especially on one water bottle and meesly flapjack :P

    First 'formal' attempt at this today - rode out from home (SW London), up the shallow side, then down the Zig Zag before coming back. Beautiful day, but looks like I've got a lot of work to do!!

    Very surprised, beat last year's time by 1.45 and was only going 95% in the small ring. AND that was after Ranmore, Coldharbour and White Down... Reckon I could crack 7 minutes and go on from there. As the lighest person so far, there's no excuse really...

    PS. Let's revive this, Box Hill is a mecca for SE cyclists after all...

    Good call - would be good to test myself post etape, see if its helped the old climbing legs!

    Come on guys, this is Box Hill we're talking about. It's summer, loads of people must do it every day. Just put your stopwatch on :wink:

    Ironically today I was watch-less, having misplaced it 7-8 minutes not going hard, though had to up my pace to catch a guy just before the second hairpin. Ah, competitive instinct. White Down was horrible today, for some reason, though I still adore the Ranmore Common descents... no brakes.

    thought i'd join this brigade

    it was my first day on the bike since the etape du tour 2 weeks ago and in that time ive eaten absolute $hit ,mainly chips :wink: ,but now that i've dusted off the cobwebs and its full steam ahead.

    went out with 2 other clubmates (kingston wheelers) today we went via staple hill,shere hill,immaediate left after peaslake village,back of leith hill,coldharbour then hit Box Hill after 60(ish) k's

    9.49-urrrrrrrrrs-104kg-sportif-

    not bad a performance as i used to avg 13minutes going up and had avg of 11kph but i noticed was almost 17kph at some stages v.v. happy :D and there is only one way that is going......

    i am not vey good with copying & pasting very computer illiterate so could someone add me please

    A new entry, starting at the bottom. :oops: Only started cycling 11 months ago so I have to begin somewhere! Trying to get fit for a charity ride from London to Paris in Sept.

    I could probably go a bit quicker if I didn't want to get home afterwards. Maybe next time I'll get the train home from Boxhill!

    ps urrrrrrrrrrs - hope I put in enough r's
  • To keep this thread ticking over, managed c.7:05 in yesterday's balmy (barmy?) weather at the end of club ride, HR peaking at 175. Too small an improvement to add to list. Would love to do a 'fresh' one at some point.

  • First go ever and quite pleased to get under the 7mins mark! It was after Ranmore Hill, Leith Hill, Holmbury Hill, Winterfolds, St Martha's, Coombe Bottom and Dunley, so i reckon there's a bit of room for improvement on that....I hope so anyway.

    Went out there for the first time in over a year a couple of weeks ago.

    Just back from holiday and having eaten everything in sight, so won't be trying this again for another month or so at least.

  • My first proper go and a little disappointed. Definitely room for improvement if the weather wasn't quite as windy and close. Had a sprint finish but should have gone earlier so I reckon 6.30 is a poss for me

    Haven't logged on to this thread for a while.
    Nice one, Madturkey. Keep at it and your times will tumble. Out of interest, though, what gearing are you using? I used 39xsomethingorother after the first zig and wondered what other people were using.
    FCN 2-4.

    "It stays down, Daddy."
    "Exactly."

    6:28 the first time, 6:30 the second and 6:45 the last time. I'd planned to do 4 intervals but got a bit carried away on the first, not going hard enough for a fast time but hard enough to be stuffed for the next 3. I'll try a solo when I feel a bit fresher and take it down a notch for doing intervals.

    I did my first ascent of Box Hill in ages as final preparation for next weekend's GF Giro di Lombardia and flew up! My fastest ever time I think.

    I had a go yesterday too, in fact I beat naked_ollie to the top...although he did give me a considerable head start. This was my second go this year, got 7:02 last week.
