    Went out this evening and 17 second improvement, felt a lot quicker but that'll do.

    No other riders on the climb, I'm sure it would help to have people to chase, looking for another 30 seconds by the end of the year. Hmmm maybe a new bike is required. :idea:

    Shaved almost half a minute off my PB today, and after 90Ks of climbing before hand.

    First time I have ridden Box Hill. A few observations: the view over the plain is superb, the hairpins are novel and the road surface is terrible. The route out from Crystal Palace is pretty bad so I wont be going there again any time soon. Was tempted to give it another shot but thought there would be no chance of bettering it.

    frenchfighter, great time 8) If you go out via Streatham and Mitcham it's not a bad ride after that. I do this sort of route for a quick run out there but you can make it more picturesque:

    Thanks for that. The latter half of that route is what I did and it was ok'ish. The worst part was through Purley and Slesdon - some pretty unpleasant drivers out today.

    What is the Fray Bentos by the way?

    :)http://www.quebrantahuesos.com/ It's just easier to say Fray Bentos after you've had a pint or two.
    Purley is best avoided at all costs :)

    Ok - a bit like the French Etape Ride then as far as I can see. There was someone on the Sunday club ride I was on this weekend just gone who was preparing for that I think.

    Haven't had a proper go at this since April before I got my powertap, so today was a good test for current baseline numbers. 281 watts (both average and normative, what a steady ride I had!), knocked 40 seconds off my previous best and felt better than I ever have when I've gone hard up Boxhill. Usually I die on the 3rd leg just as it goes into the trees but today I actually got better there. I recently lowered my stem about 2cm so I think that helped me get a bit more aero too. And a 1kg weight loss since last time can't have hurt either! ;)

    Well done Rich. Must have felt flat after Hardknott. Had you done a proper hills ride before?

    Good conditions today: little wind and not too warm.

    7:31, so 5 seconds shy of my PB but I'll gladly take those consistency points..

    Some quick times are being posted now which is good to see.
    It's the vibe of the thing.

    At last I had the patience to start slowly and so finished strong (well strong in my terms). 18 sec improvement. Any other OAPs doing this?

    whilst idling around google I noticed this possible steep variant.

    From A24/25 junction head E and after 1k turn N. Bikehike says distance up to Box Hill Road (by the pub) is 2.8k with 165 m vertical; lookout - there is a 20% pitch in the first kilometer.

    Does anyone know the road condition?

    It's a footpath basically. Not sure why it's on google as a road!

    Superb effort Julian!

    With all these times tumbling around me I felt compelled to head out and try my new dinner plate cassette today in readiness for next weeks big ride, and give Box Hill a nudge at the same time.

    First Attempt: 7:39 (as fast as I could go and PB :D )
    Second Attempt: 9:00 (Similar gearing but took it easy)
    Third Attempt: 10:15 (Spun up on my Dinner Plate but importantly didn't even break a sweat :oops: )

    So, how big is this dinner plate and the chainwheel and what did you use for yr PB effort?

    I have for the moment settled on 34/25 or 22 as the optimum for Box Hill but I am always interested to know how others attack the problem.

    Although nothing to really trouble the time keepers or shake fear to those top of the list. finally broke the 8min barrier right in time for the Quebrantaheusos/Fray Bentos. The Somport and Marie Blanque can kiss my a$$ :)

    Not too bad yourself. Great to see you improving week by week proof some of the best climbers are MTBs :)

    Looks like after your PB effort on Box Hill, Ditchling Beacon will be a walk in the park for you next weekend. Good luck with the Brighton ride mate. I will be thinking of you passed out with a San Mig in hand on the Sunday after the Fray!

    See you in a fortnight.

    Hmm not 100% precise timing. My 1st time and forgot to hit the lap button at the start and end :roll: But going by my GPS data it tends to suggest between 10-12 minutes so i'll split the difference :wink: I hope to give it ago again in the next couple of weeks so will get a better time (i hope)

    Believe it or not, I've not ridden my mountain bike for over 2 months now :-) The imrpovements in my fitness have come purely from hitting the road. I'll find out how good my technical ability is when I go to VallNord bike park in Andorra in a fortnight. Looking forward to giving the Enduro a pasting :-D

    I was having a ‘good legs’ day, I had a go in May and felt like I put a lot more in but got nowhere near improving. Now having joined the top five I can now watch myself side down the table again until I’m forced to go back to the Box.

    It’s getting to the point that I don’t know if I’m training for sportives by taking on Box Hill or training for Box Hill by taking on sportives!
