    I actually ran it through the calculator that Maryka posted, and had a 'third party' do it as well (thanks Jim!)

    So yeah, it was quite a lot of watts.... ;) quite a lot of weight too... :shock: I will cut down on beer, curry and kebabs, lose some weight and see what happens towards the end of the season....

    Actually, if Steve is reading, how about posting it anyway - I'd love to know what James averaged to do a 6:10 for his 'frame' :)
    I used Jim's 407W 6:10 as the basis for the calculation, as all I have to do then is adjust for weight, and it comes out at 458W for felgen. Of course, this assumes wind had the same effect on both their rides.

    Thats not too far off.... Jim calculated at 470watts, I do remember that there was a south easterly blowing, which meant a bit of wind in the face for two legs of the ascent - and actually when I calculated it using the calculator mentioned above it came up with 510 watts.

    To be honest, its all conjecture. Basically I am very interested in a powertap/SRM/Cinqo Quark now, but I think I initially have to procure a Garmin 705, and I have a plan in that regard.......

    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)

    You 'stole' my chance to post a PB!! :x

    I forgive you :wink:

    Would have liked to go sub 7 with the old steely before it is relegated to a winter ss machine. Oh well, hopefully the new machine will help with times :twisted: :P
    It's the vibe of the thing.

    Sorry dude, just thought you'd forgotten! :oops:

    Please don't go sub-7 on old steely, then I'll really have to hurt myself to beat you on your new bike! :roll: :evil: :lol:

    I gave the park a skip for a change and venture out into the wilderness that is the Surrey hills :lol:
    Not quite a PB (Not far off so still quite pleased with that effort), but I did have a good few harder intervals in the legs by the time I got there. I still had a solid run up, it was a bit slippery around the 2nd hairpin this morning I nearly saw my a$$!
    5:08 is shifting... don't think thats within reach anytime soon.

    It's a more rounded/honest description I think - mtb racers usually have to be handy climbers.

    Reminds me I still have to have a go at that parallel "Box Hill off-road challenge 2009"!

    Not ideal conditions yesterday with that storm blowing in from the south. I watched my power drop and my speed increase as I hit the second leg, then the exact opposite on the third leg... and that brutal headwind took all ideas of sub-6:30 with it. :(

    Still, I took 5 seconds off my last time and put in 5 more watts average, so can't complain. Tried it in the big ring for the first time and that worked fine except into the headwind where my cadence dropped a bit too much. Managed to really gear down and crank it past the last hairpin towards the cafe, making my first and last 30 seconds the highest power of the whole climb! Just need to work on the middle ~5 min a bit more. :roll:

    First timed attempt since June. Just coming out of a bout of cold/man-flu and as I started the climb both my legs and head said "why am I doing this?" Still, happy to shave a few more seconds off. I reckon sub 6.10 is realistic but I think I'll run out of ammenable weather in 2009 before Sub 6 is likely.

    Very chuffed. Only second time up BH this year and set a PB. Odd ride out there though. Last minute decision to ride out there. No breakfast in me and used up every ounce of energy just going up Staples Lane :o . So, figuring I'd never make it up the hill leading out of Shere to Hook Lane, I stopped in Shere for a Snickers Duo and Jaffa Cakes. Felt like a new man after that and headed off to BH via Radnor Lane and Whitedown.

    I started the last attempt in the 53, so opted for the 39 and keep a steady pace. Seemed to do the trick.
    FCN 2-4.

    "What happens when the hammer goes down, kids?"

    What is the max gradient of Box Hill?

    From memory the max gradient is about 9%, it's not a killer by any means compared to nearby Combe Bottom, White Down and others of the same ilk. It does however have the views, the hairpin bends and the cafe at the top! [/quote]

    Indeed, when not trying to go up it particularly fast, its quite a pleasant hill really.

    Guys,

    This weekend could see a new pb (and last chance this year) at the top with some Power data to read through...

    After a terrible 2 weeks about a month ago, I have ridden back well into form/receovered well, loosing 1.5kg (I'm now 67.5) and I reckon I'm sustaining 5-10watts more than I have been...

    Is a sub 5 in my legs I'm not sure but I'll damn give it a go!!! :lol:

    Anyone dusted the cobwebs off there turbo/rollers yet? Sad times....
    Have a great winter!

    There should be a lifetime supply of free treacle-tart from the café at the top for whoever first goes under 5"

    An awesome time from Ben who reckons he can go quicker, who'd ve thought Tom's time would be bettered?

    Good luck on the next attempts folks - today would have been a good day for it, wind seems to have all but died this morning.

    How do you submit times to the site? And w/kg, that kind of thing?

    Personally I'd prefer to see a time AND w/kg competition as I'll never go sub-5... but could go top 10 in w/kg! :lol:

    Be careful - I have seen what Ben can do to a plate of chocolate brownies. No cafe would survive

    I think he had a bit in reserve.

    The discussion on this forum and the KW forum prompted by Ben Instone's amazing time up BH on the TT bike prompted me to get out there and try it today on my P3C. (For reference, I had just done a BH run on Tuesday on the road bike and got the exact same time and watts as my last one :evil: ). Today I had a regular helmet and kit, one full water bottle and Hed Jet60 wheels.

    The results: 6:33 and 286 watts on Tuesday, 6:18 and 284 watts today for 15 seconds faster with 2 watts fewer. Compared the two rides with "dot racing" on SportTracks and found that most of the time was gained from the third leg, which is to be expected as it's the most exposed. Found riding in the aero position to be extremely uncomfortable with that crap road surface though! So there you go, TT bike is faster, for me anyway.

    Ok... this could spice up the challenge....

    We now could potentially catagorise the bh tt with road biek or tt bike..

    my 5:08 was on a road bike... and Im sure I can get sub 5 on roadie but I could be looking at a sub 4:50/4:40 on a TT bike....

    We shall see, but not til next year because my training has already dramaticly changed, I think I've lost alot of top end already...

    Almost a whole minute off my first time back in June. I believe that I am easily the fastest rider over 100kg. Although I haven't weighed myself for a long while so might be under now. 8 minutes before Christmas.

    thanks for posting this link
    A couple of small comments
    - the first part of the profile looks pretty steep compared to the rest, registering c. 9% for the first 400m. Maybe that's right and I just don't notice as I'm fresh, but I thought the steepest bit was just before the first hairpin.
    Watts/kg is indicated as including bike weight - which looks right for the top few entries, but not for some lower down, who I think just use body weight.
