    3 seconds Art? Better than a punch in the throat. I have no idea what time I did Box Hill Saturday morning, somewhere around 10 minutes I gather :-)

    Looking forward to the next ride with you guys though :-)

    That was done today. Very windy along the top straight after the second hairpin but I'm just making excuses. Done after my standard Ranmore route but on very tired legs. I'll see if I can improve my time tomorrow or later in the week. I'm pleased i found this thread... I go up Box Hill almost everyday so this is perfect for me :) lets see how i progress.

    I went up again today and improved my time from yesterday by 32 seconds. Now I've actually been looking at the two times, I think that feeling 100% I can manage 7:40 at the moment. My target will be 6:30 by the end of the summer. And I want to see what i can manage on my MTB as well.

    Took another 8 seconds off on Sunday. The wind did actually have an affect this time along the top stretch. But i was really happy to go under 8 minutes. Oh and just a teensy details, I weighed myself and I'm 59kg not 64. Where has that gone?!

    Very happy with this mornings run. Just pootled down there, only had 50 easy kms in the legs so felt good from the drop of the hat. Must admit it was a bit depressing when a 3 year old passed me and tried to engage in conversation as i was coughing up a lung. He must have only wieghed about 20kgs!!

    Myk-ee Excellent time. Let's see if you can beat it after 200+km in your legs on Saturday :twisted:
    Sounds like you were being sledged on the way up :lol:

    Thanks mate. Think I was being sledged in a nice way, he seemed quite genuine in his support, albeit briefly.

    I'm away this weekend so no riding for me :cry:

    Sure it wasn't mark_d? :twisted:

    My last time was appaling, really need to get on it more often, only live a few miles away but find it easier (route wise) to head south.

    I need to have a few more goes with a better warm up perhaps. I didn't stop coughing for about 20 mins after :shock: :D

    Toks – 1 second – how could you! I tried to claw that fourth place back this morning but could only manage 6:24 again – cruel. Still at least it's consistent. Maybe next time.

    Even with a Kingston Wheeler to chase...

    Anyone know if it's scheduled to be resurfaced like all the other surrey lanes they're doing at the moment? Once the gravel's cleared it would give 20 seconds to everyone I'm sure...

    Must loose more weight!
    Thats a fantastic effort, do you race?

    Cheers mate - Like I say, I'm well happy with that, especially as my first effort was 8:04 - Just maybe i'll be able to break the magic 6:00 mark by the end of the Summer? (maybe?). Problem is BH is a good 70km's from home even if I go direct - I suppose that way I'm always warmed up :lol:

    Racings is a bit of a dodgy subject - Tried last year at Dunsfold & just made up the numbers (was a bit of a spectator really) - I'm signed up for the SERRL race this Sunday though! Shame its not up BH - I might have been in with a shout :lol:

    With such an impressive effort after more than 70miles in your legs there's no way you should be just 'pack fodder'. Stick with the racing dude, practice makes perfect and all that...you'll come good eventually :D

    I managed to get another 15 seconds off last Thursday. It was after Ranmore and going over to Coldharbour so I was pretty pleased. Looking for 7.30 now. And i need to get a time for my MTB!

    Even with a Kingston Wheeler to chase...

    Anyone know if it's scheduled to be resurfaced like all the other surrey lanes they're doing at the moment? Once the gravel's cleared it would give 20 seconds to everyone I'm sure...

    no idea but they have done the village so certinaly close....

    made a massive difference to a hill nr my folks place as your wheren't scrabbling for traction any more, though that hill is some what steeper.

    Cracking weather this afternoon. Had the ipod in (not done this before on the roadie) and put Sonic Youth's 'Teenage Riot' on at the bottom of the hill. 5 second improvement but no move up on the time board :cry: Maybe if I had a nano ipod instead of a heavy 80GB one and a carbon bike I might have shaved 7 seconds :lol:
    They've just started resurfacing the roads in Box Hill village so they're even more gritty than normal post hill. I expect they might resurface the fabled hill in the next few days.
    Saw a ghost bike in Streatham as well - quite eerie :(

    Great effort Al! I am off down to Box Hill now for an evening attack. I guess you didnt get my text then as you were already riding. Will let you know how I get on, and see if all the hills in Aus did the trick (well that and the new lighter, generally all round better wheels!)

    Unfortunately didn't see Felgen out there, although I left later than him, and seem to be back earlier than him, so hopefully he didn't get lost... Just a gentle spin out there, and hard up the hill and back, so pretty much perfect conditions for a good time.

    Well, thanks for the concern, Jim (from fellow KW!) and a great time too - good effort. What bike were you riding? I was on a black planet X with deep section wheels and blue top. I saw a guy on a Merida and a Guy on Bianchi whilst mucking about - see below!

    Expletives cannot describe my annoyance with what happened tonight. I started my run, got halfway between the first and second hairpin, and felt really strong... my average to that point was 16.9mph. Anyway I looked down shortly after and saw that my Garmin had switched off! and it t wouldn't turn back on.... so I went back down to the start and tried to calm down and started again once I got the thing to turn on again.

    Suffice to say it did the same thing in about the same spot on the second attempt. I got it switched on again and the clock started almost straight away, but I cant confirm an accurate time. Looking at it on the computer, it was somewhere between 6.30 and 6.40, which smashes my PB, but its really annoying to think that I managed that time following a wasted half way up effort only to start again and the resultant effect on my time, but I suppose I should just take heart from the fact that I still did a lot better than last time.

    I don't think I will be able to manage much better without losing some weight though (back up to 97kg due to a week of excess)! I will sort out the garmin, or just get a new one on insurance and then try again in a week or two.

    I was in club kit, on my red and black cervelo. I only saw mountain bikers out there, quite surprised about how few people.

    Good run. My garmin decided to stop mapping once, but turning it on and off sorted it. Might have to go back to the good old fashioned stop watch. You know the ones - fluro yellow with a cord to hang around your neck..
    It's the vibe of the thing.

    Sorry, sure this has been described earlier on the forum but to save me trolling through... what is the route. I am assuming the start is from the right turn off the main road and the end is at the tea shop at the top, about 2.1 miles? Is that right, if so then I am dead impressed by the 6min men (20 mph avg).

    The route is from the turn onto the Zig Zag road - not from the main road - the A24, but the Mickleham road. It's just under 2.5km in length. So it's more like 15.5 mph average for the 6 minute person.

    Nope, didnt see you out there then Jim. I saw some mountain bikers too, and yes, it was a quiet one. I hope they get the road sweeper along Box Hill road to clear all the gravel off as thats was pretty unpleasant, so much so that I took a different route back home to avoid any more than necessary.

    I've got it mapped out as http://www.mapmyride.com/ride/united-kingdom/box-hill%2c-surrey-/420124143654220505

    As the OP says
    The start is the turning into the Zig Zag Road and the finish is the entrance to the National Trust car park opposite the tea room at the top. Unlike the RPx3 you don't get to choose which direction you go
