    Quite a few around that 6:30 mark. I've been relegated by a few places recently so need to give this another go: need 2 seconds to get back in the top five.

    Damn you Fuji..! :x :wink:

    I'm gonna have to have an easy ride to the base so I'm fresh. That a new bike, the 13yo steeley is starting to show its age now :oops:
    It's the vibe of the thing.

    Pretty pleased with the time, despite the watts being off my best for it, well paced though, and after a tempo ride out there rather than a deliberately easy ride... I guess 6 minutes has got to be within my grasp before the year's out. So maybe I'll set that as a goal...

    From today, first proper attempt with fresh legs, though the climb is part of our weekly club run. Word of advice if you're light enough out of the saddle all the way is fastest. The stats are here:

    Thanks for the power data. Pretty awesome numbers!

    Every one of those power files I've seen, including my own, show a real drop in watts once you get past the final corner into the flat part, even though the speed goes way up. Makes me think I've really got to hammer those last few hundred metres as there's time to be gained there, as much as I'm hurting by that point!

    Beat my time by 1 sec!

    I was very annoyed as just as I was coming down the hill to start the attempt I got a puncture! It took at least 20mins to fix as the one I put in also had a puncture and the next one had difficulty inflating. So I didn't have the adrenaline and state of readiness from before.

    Lovely day out and I was amazed to see about 50 cyclists at the cafe - this could be normal but then I hardly ever go there...

    SpeedBoy, not sure, When I come over next I'll put the powertap on the back and tell you. I still don't know what speed I'm doing- I've got no speedo (overrated) I just time myself...
    It will be very interesting to see your power data. I have a spreadsheet model that tries to guess power output up Box Hill from weight and time, but it doesn't try to take wind into account, so is far from perfect, and also I don't know how much people's bikes, clothes, and other stuff they have with them weighs. But still, it's not THAT far off for the few data points I have to work with. E.g. for choufflard it predicts 406W compared to 382W actual, which is less than 6% error. Anyway, my estimate for you is 527W, which puts you at 7.64W/kg for 5 minute power, which is off the top of the scale in WKO+'s athlete profile! If you're using 808/404 wheels, this will be an overestimate, of course, as the estimate is derived from data for my own rides and I'm just using normal wheels. But still, you must be pretty good!

    SPEEDOboy77 may be interested to know that my spreadsheet estimates him at 432W.

    Another interesting thing from my spreadsheet model is that it predicts you're better off being heavier for any given power to weight ratio, e.g. if you have two riders with world class power output of 7.6W/kg for 5 minutes, then a 66kg rider would take 5:12, but a 76kg rider would take 5:01. I think this is because Box Hill isn't very steep, so the extra power more than makes up for the extra weight.

    I did 423 watts for 6:21, but 407 for 6:10, so enviromental factors definately make a difference up there. (Pacing was pretty similar on both)

    So now I just need to add 150watts to get that 7.6W/kg and I'll get close to 5minutes too - some winter training I guess!

    It will be very interesting to see your power data. I have a spreadsheet model that tries to guess power output up Box Hill from weight and time, but it doesn't try to take wind into account, so is far from perfect, and also I don't know how much people's bikes, clothes, and other stuff they have with them weighs.

    Not sure if you've seen this or not? http://bikecalculator.com/wattsMetric.html I used it to estimate my Boxhill watts before I got a PT and it turned out to be pretty accurate (I had the correct weather info though it took some guesswork as to the actual headwind -- SE wind very unfavourable as you go head-on into it for the 2 longest switchbacks, NW quite favourable, others not so easy to determine).

    Thanks, I hadn't seen that before. Looks useful as well to estimate the wind effect when you do have power data available.

    Well, I took a leaf out of Ironman595's book and just went to Box with a stopwatch - thats about all that works on my bike computer right now!

    Anyway after a few aborted timings of Box Hill, I finally have an accurate time. I misjudged pace on the run a bit - too slow for the first 2/3 and then hammered it for the remainder, but not the best way to do it. Having said that I am quite surprised with the time - 46 seconds off... The more observant among you may have noticed I lost 2 kg since my last attempt, which is good, but I don't think I could live with myself if I took weight loss as far as Wiggo. Perhaps I should have a pop at a race sometime and give up my 'leisure' tag ;)

    So with Felgen putting me under pressure, I thought I'd better react and go and put him out of any idea of actually beating me. Hopefully I've now built an intimidating lead and he won't even bother trying to better me.

    Ooh.. the gauntlet has been thrown down! :lol: Good effort Jim and great consistency. Do you find it a little like watching a speedo though as I presume you watch the watts on the bike computer and make sure you maintain them? If I ever get another working garmin, I was going to work out the average speed required for a particular time and then try and maintain the lap average. I can suffer a lot for short periods, but I still dont do well with sustained pain, hance my relaitvely poorer effort on the RP 3 lap challenge (well that and never getting to the park early to have a non-interrupted lap).

    Perhaps now is not the time to say that I am about to shave 250 grams off my bike weight with a carbon crank and ceramic BB upgrade, which will magically up my watts/kg to stratospheric levels :twisted: nothing like a bit of bought performance...

    Nope, I hardly look at the watts, and I don't even have the time displayed for most of it, although I sometimes change the 705's display to show the time and average watts as I'm riding up when I need some motivation in the later parts. At most I glance down at the watts and am generally despairing when I see it beginning with 3, but mostly I'm just head down working, working, working.

    Pacing always works out much the same with a pretty solidly even paced ride, with just a small tail off in watts as you first enter the trees on the 3rd leg as the road surface worsens and starts to annoy.

    hmm ok... I am a complete statto - love poring over everything in sporttracks, but the lack of power data is very distressing (in fact the complete lack of anything of late owing to breaking my 305), and I am giving serious thought to working some extra time to bankroll a power meter and a 705.

    I see your point, that if you are giving it your all, then you shouldn't be eyeballing a display as it distracts you. The only things I have of use on my bike computer at the moment are the Heart rate and the stopwatch. In fact I can't remember what my heart rate was when I did the 6:10 time anyway - was too busy giving it some.

    A long time since I last hit a PB so it was nice to wipe a few more seconds off. Still want to go sub-7 before the winter starts to bite, as well as beating Myk-ee! :wink::lol:

    I've corrected your time to 7:05 from 7:20 BTW Myk-ee - good effort buddy 8)
