Box Hill Challenge 2011

dhbemis@yahoo.com

It was a beautiful warm day. Nearly 26°C and very sunny. I trimmed 22 seconds off my first attempt in July. This was the first time I used a PowerTap and HR monitor. They really just tell me things I already know... 4.2 w/kg is not going to get me up that hill fast!

Damn...
I did Box Hill for the first time yesterday, following the course of the Surrey Sportive, but I timed it wrong... timing it from the Roundabout instead of the start of the zig-zag... and to the actual cafe rather than the entrance of the National Trust...
This way I've got 9.30... I guess it'll be 7 minutes something, given it's 133 mt ascent...
I thought I was going pretty well at 11-12 mps average on a 39x21 and 39x19, for someone who had bagged Leith Hill and White Downs already

Nice climb though.. really enjoyed it

I was on that ride! Lovely day for it. I was in Dulwich Paragon kit, on a carbon Viner. Not too quick up Box Hill, scraped in under the 7 minute mark.

PhildB

had a little ride up Box HIll yesterday for the first time.. - absolutely beautiful day for it.. - a couple of beautiful cars and bikes screamed pasted me, - fantastic views and weather... - I have no idea what my time was, - certainly over 10 mins... - but I wasn't going for speed, just pleased to make it to the top

I will go again and time myself next time

So... Philippe Gilbert did it in around 5 minutes flat on the last lap of the olympic race... :shock:

frenchfighter

Haha, I wonder how fast they went up there when Nibali attacked - I must check the replay. I think the 2nd lap, the peloton did in 5.30 ish.

4:40 on Nibali's attack, which I think was the fastest. So only just faster than Tejvan solo.

Anyone timed the ladies?

First time up was about 5:40, second time up was slower as the first half was very pedestrian, but Pooley possibly faster as she was well off the back and near the front - possibly around 5:30 for her. Clara Hughes should upload to Strava and was near the front at both start and finish of the first ascent.

jibberjim

So I just did the women, and compared the times with the fastest woman who's posted on BikeRadar (that I know of, based on Strava QOM which is slightly faster than the time on this thread)

First climb
White Fence 08 12 -4
1st Hairpin 1:39 1:49 -10
2nd Hairpin 2:44 2:59 -15
3rd Turn 5:00 5:20 -20
Top 5:37 6:05 -28

So 28seconds better, most of it (proportionately) pulled out on the last section, not surprising as Vos attacked there, but generally faster throughout.

Second climb (couldn't get the white fence as they were showing the crash)
1st Hairpin 1:49 -0
2nd Hairpin 3:00 +1
3rd Turn 5:26 +6
Top 5:57 -8

So Van Dijk's attack at the bottom was only strong enough to match, and they actually rode the 3rd leg relatively easily compared to their first, but Vos's attack this time which only Armitstead managed to with absolutely ripped it up. Pooley was 18seconds behind at the start and had caught before the 2nd hairpin, so she rode that quite a lot faster. Obviously the comparison is against a single max effort and not part of a race - although the effect of crowds blocking the wind and motorbikes around would go the other way. But then again there would be riders who climbed even faster than the front of the bunch, Pooley particularly on the 2nd climb.

Does it mean the road is now open?

okgo

Only at certain times of night? But think its open properly again very soon?

I got towed up the other day for a 5.39 which required huge effort, god knows what I'd need watts wise to do that on my own.

pangolin

It seemed very much open. The women running the cafe at the top were miffed because apparently it is meant to be open, but the 'road closed' signs were still about.

maryka

If you are on Twitter, Andy Wright from Boxhill has been tweeting for weeks now about the state of the road and when it's open and shut.

leejdavies

Had a blast up box hill yesterday and the surface now is immaculate. Haven't ridden it for months and it was a pleasure. Was stuck behind cars who were just being polite to other cyclists. I reckon I could snip around 20 – 25 seconds with a clear run and it was the first time i've dipped under 6 minutes so well happy with that.

Rumour is the speed bumps are returning.

Decent improvement today, edging in the right direction. Thought I might crack 7 mins, but somehow the trees just went on longer than I expected.

Another 30 seconds off, nice day for it today!

bcss

Did it last time about 1.5 years ago, this time on tired legs, watts exactly the same 342 vs 344 at the time, so seems the 9 sec gain is mainly due to the resurfacing (and a bit of less wind)

However heart rate significantly lower 144 vs 171 at the time (though the 144 seems almost too low, maybe measurement error), so certainly potential for more :-)
