    A small improvement today as Esoteric disappeared up the road. Think there's still a bit more improvement - under 7 minutes remains the aim!

    This is actually a PB for me but hopefully I can get under 7 mins. Just need to keep it steady and not set off too quickly.

    Disappointing. First time in the hills for ages and a strong-ish headwind breeze on the zigs :(

    Went out with JG. First time out there in nearly two years, but was hoping for a PB. 40 secs off a PB in the end. Nothing in the legs whatsoever. Not happy.

    @JG - disappointed? You've just beaten my Box Hill PB!

    @CJ - surely its all about training for riding climbs when you have absolutely nothing left in the legs?! Therefore sounds like you've just had a perfect Marmotte warm-up!

    Sorry. I know it's still a decent time but last time up (2yrs ago :oops: ) was a 6:07. Was hoping to get close to or beat that. It is true, though, we'd done a few hills at a decent pace before hitting Box

    It's the slowest time I've done for about four years, but I do have a bit more perspective about it this morning.

    JG and I basically did through and off from Kingston to about a mile before the Critten Lane/Crocknorth junction. We then turned right down Crocknorth, then left at the bottom with more through and off to the top of Coombe Bottom. Up through Shere, Peaslake, Radnor Road, the shorter section of Leith Hill, then Whitedown, then to Box Hill. Was goosed.

    We then went home by going back up Ranmore, then some more through and off from Effingham to Esher. I was a broken man by that point, and my legs are reminding me of that today.

    But, yeah, good training. :lol:

    So 5 seconds better than last year - the extra watts slightly negated by the extra fat around the middle. Should be able to go a bit faster (was in regular kit with full bottles rather than a full aero gear'd up effort) but not too bad. On an otherwise very gentle pootle in prep for 50mile TT tomorrow.

    Sorry Jim!
    WAs yours today? It looked like mostly a headwind but seemed fast. PB by just 1s. I hadn't done it for about a year though. Also on a long-ish ride with bottle, spare tub (and tube - what was I thinking!?) and kit etc, and didn't kill myself trying. Racing tomorrow also. Will be going back for a proper attempt :D

    No worries, it wasn't even good enough for second sport in the club list, so it's cheating a bit to claim it here!

    Yes, I suspect it was just a bit after yours, I passed a few of the slower addiscombe group on the climb, needed them to be going a bit faster to get a draft really!

    A PB - and first time up solely in the big ring - but not enough to me up the rankings :( A good step towards sub 7 minutes though

    Well done on the PB - I think I went up in 38-17 for most of it, lost some time at the top because I couldn't be focussed enough to swap to the big ring for the flat part!

    It's probably terrible for the life of my drivetrain but it imposes a minimum speed - and with a compact can't really sprint at the top in the small ring

    Was going up yesterday, wasnt planning to ride it hard until i got about half-way up and found my time was good. Not sure about the idea that it was headwind, seemed more like a tail/sidewind most of the way (NW'ly). 28 seconds down on last year but that time was after a gentle warm up whereas this was after 30 hardish miles. Hopefully get under 7 minutes at some point.

    It feels like it has taken me a very long time to get down below 6 minutes. Last year I remember cursing how every day I went for a max effort it always seemed to be a headwind. I went up last night as part of a 2 hour steady hard effort, and noticed that it took about 20W less power than normal for the time I went up there in, so thought I should go back today to do a max effort as the wind was clearly helping. I actually timed it myself at 5:52 383W, but Strava started it a couple of seconds earlier as I was freewheeling round the corner, so I'll go with its 5:54 381W. Very happy to finally do my first sub 6 minute ride up there!

    First visit to Box Hill for over a year as part of the King of the Downs sportive, got there with around 40 miles in my legs and another 70 to go so wasn't a full on attack, but felt reasonably good. Felt a lot worse on Yorks Hill after 90 miles and Titsey Hill after close to 100, the climbing legs aren't really firing this year but I'm hoping that I'll be able to peak for July in true TdF style!

    Had a good go at this yesterday after a fairly slow ride down to Box Hill with my fair lady. I was most certainly puffing and blowing toward the top. The cake tasted good. My aim is to somehow dip under the 6 minute mark at some point this year.

    There was a bit of wind after the first switchback, or maybe that was just the pain in my legs starting. Nothing like the gales last week.

    Took 14 secs off my previous time so only 15 seconds to shave off this one…

    Decided to try again during my 'long ride' yesterday. Started off at a sensible pace and it all seemed to work out. The coffee and cake tasted all that much better.

    Did it for the first time today with a North-Easterly wind. Pleasantly surprised by the conditions as they felt very favourable. Next goal is sub-6 as I chase down TarmacExpert and Jibberjim for bragging rights!

    Very chuffed to go under 7 minutes this morning and think there's more to come as there was a headwind on the first and third stretches

    First visit to Box Hill for over a year as part of the King of the Downs sportive, got there with around 40 miles in my legs and another 70 to go so wasn't a full on attack, but felt reasonably good. Felt a lot worse on Yorks Hill after 90 miles and Titsey Hill after close to 100, the climbing legs aren't really firing this year but I'm hoping that I'll be able to peak for July in true TdF style!

    Wouldnt like to hit Yorks or south Titsey after those distances! Nice riding.

    Anyone know if they will be re-surfacing the road before the Pros ride it in 2012? I cant stand the awful surface (on the hill and around) and think we could get 1mph each greater speed as well as feeling more comfortable if they did.

    they weren't the fastest I've ever seen, but they certainly weren't slow. I did a 5:48 on 435 watts, and it appeared to be pretty much identical conditions to the 5:42 I did, I just couldn't keep the watts up (I was exactly the same time going into the trees. I'm completely stuffed up with cold, and I think that's my excuse. I wasn't actually going to do a hard effort, but thought I should see if a hard effort would wake me up from feeling crap. It didn't - and I crawled home.
