    How much time is the deteriorated road surface costing us this year ?

    Im currently quite a bit slower than my best time of 6:50 last year. Some is due to my current level of fitness, but I recon that I'm loosing quite a bit of time because the surface is so sh@@!! this year

    Any thought anyone ?

    I'm afraid my time is pretty consistent with last years times in terms of watts required to do it. So in absolute terms I don't think the road surface can really be blamed - it may well put you off your rythym and stop you delivering the same power though.

    It's still a TT, and things like air temperature, wind direction, etc. can all make a surprising difference to your times for the same power - maybe you got lucky with the conditions last year and been unlucky this year?

    So this was my second time up boxhill, got a bit lost getting there (again) wasn't really pushing it up until the first hairpin but felt great going up the next stretch, maybe it was the wind, so I continued and pushed hard up these two and round the last bend and managed to break 7 minutes.

    Also I really need a good way to get to Boxhill. I headed through Kingston from Richmond Park – Esher – Leatherhead is this the best way? Headed back into london via epsom. Lovely road heading down was freewheeling at 40mph. :o

    Casbar, I know what you mean about the road however only ridden Box Hill twice both this year but the surface isn't very good and is a bit off putting at times. And the speed bumps don't help :lol:

    The fastest and most direct way from Kingston is down the A243 past Chessington World of Adventures then either through Leatherhead and onto the bike path beside the A24 or straight down the A24 itself. Pretty unpleasant though, I only take this route if I'm in a hurry. http://www.bikeroutetoaster.com/Course. ... rse=141015 (stopping at Boxhill and not continuing to Dorking obviously).

    The nicer route is go out via Chessington then over to Epsom and up over Langley Vale and Headley, then ride down past Juniper Hall (or ride through the village of Boxhill so you actually descend Zigzag road before turning around to climb it again).

    Something like this, http://bikeroutetoaster.com/Course.aspx?course=216368

    First timed run this year. I have a feeling that the crucial 8 will be around all year unless I turn to self-inflicted harm.

    Jim....You are so fast , the surface evens itself out and becomes smooth :D ....

    Anyway i didnt think I had much of a theory there, just needed someone to tell me :oops:

    Good conditions today. Another guy in our club did 5.53 this morning, so my time is nothing special. Hope to crack 6 minutes at some point.

    First attempt so plenty of room for improvement, will be interesting to see how much quicker, if any, i'll be on my nicer bike rather than my crosser/winter trainer.

    1. the good conditions
    2. loss of 2kg since last effort
    3. The inspiration/challenge by the lovelies from Kent Velo Ladies who were on the hill this AM?

    Great conditions today. It might have been a bit faster if I wasn't at least a kilo heavier than last month, isn't training supposed to work the other way?

    It was an absolutely beautiful day for riding yesterday. Headed to Box Hill with my lady (didn't tell her about Box hill until the foot of the hill :twisted:).

    I really pushed up box hill after swallowing a fly shortly after the turn onto it and was almost sick and then had to cruise trying to cough it back up to no avail. I'll to go full tilt next time and see where that gets me.

    Hopefully somewhere around 6 mins.

    I think I still feel it in my throat :cry:

    44 seconds improvement in a month. I don't know where i've made the improvements, but another 34 seconds and i've made this years goal of 7.30.

    Leej, i caught a fly in the mouth last week climbing Broomfield. Not a pleasant experience trying to cough the b******d out.

    Knocked 21 seconds off last months attempt, and got held up for about 5 seconds at the bottom by a pulled over police car.

    6:20 was the goal for the year, but I'm hoping for 6:0x now.

    17 seconds off my previous best despite pacing there at 18+mph (av.) for a couple of hours with a mate of mine - add in the great weather and it was a good day :)

    2nd time on the hill this year, first time was an aborted attempt, 22 seconds faster than last year's best and 25W up, conditions were perfect no wind no traffic, only excuse is that my legs already had 40 miles at 17 mph in them

    Where are you guys riding, in the middle of the road (seems that the surface quality there is best)? It's so bumpy that I am sure there are some free extra seconds on a smoother surface

    @ Im Bald Ok & SirUlrich: be warned your position is at risk ;-)

    Did it on a bike with gears this time, 38 seconds faster. I suppose they help a bit.

    Down 21 sec on last week and power up 24W, took it easier on the approach, but then my legs felt tired and there was some headwind

    First time on latex tubes, road felt much smoother

    well I rode this for the first time ever yesterday in the mid-afternoon heat and half way through a 65 mile day in the Surrey Hills :D

    I wont post my time as it was nothing to write home about and I was taking it steady on all the hills during the day, and not being local I had no idea how long or steep the climb would be, but what an INCREDIBLE stretch of hill. I really enjoyed the steady gradient and scenery and after doing Whitedown and various others earlier in the ride it was great to just pick a gear and enjoy the journey. Glorious views at the top as well just made it the highlight of a long day 8)

    Now I know what this is all about I need to come back and try it again and see what I can do. Judging by the time set by my lightweight but powerful ride companion yesterday, I dont have much chance of getting on the leaderboard just yet :lol:

    Got lucky with the conditions today - the hill blocked any wind there was and the weather was (once again) nice and warm. I wasn't going to have a go after struggling up a couple of hills earlier on my ride, but felt much better approaching Dorking.

    Towards the end of a 75 miler, thought I'd have a crack at this. Better then Feb (too poor to post) but still room for improvement.
