    From Kingston go to Tolworth and head for Epsom, after about a mile turn right at traffic lights onto Hook Road and work your way to the traffic lights in the centre of Epsom. Go up to the Downs (Chalk Lane is nicer than Ashley Road or Downs Road). From Epsom Downs head for Headly via Langley Vale, from Headley either head to the top of Box Hill by heading towards Walton on the Hill or tun right through Headly Village and go to the bottom of Box Hill via Juniper Hall and towards Burford Bridge. You can find the route on any map. Probably about 16 miles from Kingston.

    Hi all...
    16 miles of busy roads leading to M25 are a real turnoff...

    Totally agree. I take the train to Effinghamn Jnction or Leatherhead

    I use this as a starting point - I don't think there are any reasonable routes from Kingston to the hills without at least one objectionable road. This goes along the Esher to Cobham road which isn't much fun, but that bit is fairly short.

    http://www.serpentine.org.uk/pages/bike_routes_03a_index.html

    Then just follow the little white roads up anything that looks like a hill.

    The least nasty direct way I have found that is not too bad is down to Esher, then through Oxshott, then turn right before the M25 juction to go through Leatherhead. Then the dual carriageway A24 has a decent cycle path to Old London Road.

    I was bored, and so took the time to plot the course I/we would take from Richmond Park. Judging by your 3 lap time I think you would manage about 6.10 up the hill.

    Hope that helps

    A whole 2 seconds off. But definitely an improvement as this followed 100+ miles with the RPCC.

    Good weather, slightly breezy but lots of ‘markers’ to pick-off on the climb (and maybe being a bit lighter helped).

    Great to see so many riders out on the roads, the top of Box Hill looked like a feed station on the Etape!

    First foray into the hills since last July and a little bit of a hold up at the bottom, but only cost me a couple of seconds max. Still thought I'd set a PB, but not to be today. JonGinge blasted up in 6.07, I think. Flippin' incredible acceleration after the "zag"!

    6:07 it was. Got a bit more held up than CJ by the group and approaching cars on the first ramp and put myself into the red trying to catch CJ. Put in a second effort after the second hairpin and was beginning to struggle nearing the cafe. Happy with my first timed try. Sub six mins may be doable...

    Witnessed JonGinge and CJCP today, bloody quick! Jon's climbing is something to behold, earlier on in the ride he went up Whitedown like it was flat!

    +1! He was in the 50 until after the switchbacks on Whitedown while the rest of us were frantically seeking help from easier gears. Perfectly apt that he was wearing a jersey with "IBEX" on it.

    No doubting it was a masterclass - sadly I was somewhat further back, watching him, CJCP, and JB fly up. And this was 2.5 hours into the ride. :shock: Pretty much the same as all the rest of the hills really. :oops: Chapeaux all round chaps 8)

    This was my first proper lung-bursting attack on Box Hill this year. It hurt, but I did manage to slice a few seconds off last year for a new PB.

    Some great efforts, especially if set today - bit cold and windy. I suspect we'll see some sub 6s this month.

    I went with Dave_c today and although I couldn't better my all time PB like him, I did manage to equal it with a 6.15. Hopefully I can squeeze a bit more out next time!

    Hats off to you again Dave, 6.38 on a Single Speed :shock:

    Lordy - everyone has gone bonkers since I disappeared to the antiopodes. JonGinge - that is phenomenal, what have you been eating!?

    In order to not embarass myself on my return, I am off to do some hills later, but popped a spoke on my new wheels which is a bit of a bummer so I have to get that fixed...

    Struggled on my way there today and was worried i might not be able to break ten minutes :) Was pleased with my time in the end and managed to take 30 seconds off my time from last autumn. Hopefully i can work my way closer to eight minutes in the next month. :)

    What a beautiful day. Had a good spin with naked_ollie today. Perfect conditions, and even with a longer ride prior to Box Hill, I managed to take 14 seconds off my previous PB. Bizarrely it felt more controlled than last weeks effort. I think it's going to be hard to shave much more off that though.

    Another gourgeous day in the Surrey Hills and beyond. Hit Box early in my ride on the way down to Brighton and took a good chunk off my PB

    Naked_Ollie, I don't suppose you are the rider I met briefly on the way back from Box on Sat morning? You had just come back from a sabbatical, we did some turns briefly and then parted somewhere along the Epsom route back in....

    I'm really coming into form now with a whole 3 second improvement :roll:
    This was after 80 odd miles on Saturday and 40 odd on the day so not 'box fresh' however. I'd like to do sub 6.30 before the Fray Bentos :)
