Art: you weren't wearing blue and coming up at about half past six were you? I didn't see what bike because I stupidly went out with the dark lenses. I was the fat bloke on the old Raleigh coming down.

It probably was. I think we crossed paths on the lower slopes - I was knackered already.

Whoa.. Didn't quite know what to expect today, as have only being commuting (round trip of 22 miles) for the past three months or so and not getting in any long, or hilly, rides.

It's obviously sorted out my base fitness though - I knocked 1.47 off my previous year's best (admittedly, recorded when completely shot after a hard ride about four months ago).

I'll have to have another go at the Three Lap Challenge next...

I rode up BH for the first time in months today, as part of the Gran Fondo Luciano. Got blocked a couple of times due to lots of cyclists ascending and descending but still took 17 seconds off my March time.

I'm a bit puzzled by how slow I was. I felt pretty tired before I even started, because I don't normally ride for more than an hour at a time, and it took about an hour to ride there, but I averaged 292W which is probably about as good as I could have expected for that duration. I expected to be a lot slower than maryka, seeing as how she is slightly faster around Richmond Park than me, and weighs 22kg less, but I'm not sure why I was slower than pinkbikini, who is slower than me around Richmond Park and weighs 10kg more.

There is quite a lot of difference in the conditions I think, whilst my most recent fastest time was off the most watts, previously I did similar watts and had pretty different times, here are my four most recent attempts:

6:21 423 watts 23C 2kph W wind
6:41 389 watts 16C 10kph SSW wind
6:36 380 watts 18C 2kph SSW wind
6:54 381 watts 15C 9kph NW wind

Pacing was similar on all of them - off a little too hard, a weak point just before the final turn, hammer it after that bend. But you can see the differences wind can make, as well of course of other traffic.

Thanks Jim, that is very interesting, but also quite depressing how much more power you're putting out compared to me!

Yes :!: :!: Finally on my 3rd attempt I got under the 10 minute mark with a 9.04 & 16.30kph average 8)

This time i hit Zig Zag only after a 20k ride from Clandon Station via Coombe Hill & Ranmore Common.

I was not overtaken by anyone and i even overtook two roadies as well

Could have even got under the 9 minute mark had i not gone for a sprint finish thinking i was near the top but forgot there was one more turn :shock: :oops:

Nice one NWLondoner - you'll be flying up those hills in no time!

Ironman595

AthleteService.com.......68.8kg........5:54......May.......... More sprinter than climber

I don't think I'm the fittest here, I just think I get the best speed round the hairpins from racing my motorbike, being a sprinter I try best to accelerate as quick as possible back into a steady pace and do my best to hold it.

Look forward to the top 5 giving me a good run for my money.. Just back from a strong marmotte I could maybe squeeze another 5 seconds off it :?

RedGreenBaron

I've added Ironman/Athlete Service
Unfortunately, this puts my first attempt below 7mins into context. I'm off to calculate Ironman's average speed.
Phips' time has to be my next target. Maybe one day I'll do it fresh rather than the 6th hill.

A bit of inter-Mo competition there Nick? ;-) Given that you beat me on the FW by 15 minutes, I'd say you should be able to beat me up BH.

I did my last PB with 90km in the legs, and I 'gave up' after a start that was way too hard. Then felt better and got back on it, so I reckon there's a sub-6:30 in the ole pins yet.

I do seem to be particularly slow up Box. I like to think Box is the aberration and sportives are the norm - I really do seem to be better (on a relative basis) beyond about 100k.
NB Sub-6m30 would genuinely be a very good time. MarkD would beat us in the Fred by an hour, for example.

Ironman595

HI guys,

If you compare that individual climbing time to a full length sportive, I did the circuit of the cotswolds a few weeks back (unofficaily because it was fully booked) took it steady but beyod comfortable and clocked 5hr 23min. I was with 3 others and worked together on the flat.

Anyone doinf the southern sportive? Any climbs on that we should time ourselves on?

Cheers

Ironman595

Greenbank

*checks GPS trace*

10:30 for me, with fresh legs, however...

It was on the fixed (67")
With 6kg of stuff in a saddle bag
At the start of the Dun Run (yes; I started in Dorking)
And I was taking it easy because I didn't know what it was like.
And I was riding back from Dunwich for a total of 435km.

Will try it more aggressively sometime soon.

Was supposed to be a recovery ride after last night's Surrey League Handicap, but I got there and the wind was blowing in the right direction for a bit of help along the top bit. Took 34 seconds off compared to the headwind last time

Started coming into form after a good Marmotte this year. I went for this on saturday. Wasn't too windy- had about 20-25miles in the legs with only a couple of small digs before hand so feeling pretty fresh. Was feeling destroyed after... I didn't bother looking at the time until I'd cycled half a mile to recover :oops:

Everyone else- keep up the good work!!!

Has there ever been a proper hill climb event held up Box Hill with elite cyclists in attendance? Just wondering how fast a really top cyclist would get up there. Based on Contador's climbing rate yesterday in the Tour, I reckon he could get up Box Hill in around 4 minutes, quite possibly slightly under rather than over.

That's a very good effort Ironman595. What was your time in the Marmotte this year? You must be flying 8)
