I can't believe they haven't chucked a three lap challenge in.
Am planning on riding the route at some point over summer (minus 8 laps of box hill).
More PfftFCN 2-4.

Nightingale Lane too. From what I can see they're going down Star and Garter too, not up it as someone else suggested on here. I think it'd have added a nice little kick on the way back."Mummy Mummy, when will I grow up?"

If you fancy riding it with me - I can always stop at the cafe at the top and wait for you to do the 8 laps before continuing0 -

And, by the look of it, they're passing through Combe Bottom the easy way, from East Clandon to Shere0 -

Looking at the KW forum they're suggesting a club run starting at where the route joins RP sometime in April (but not the full Box Hill loop).
I may aim to do the whole thing maybe start of June so at least I can say I've ridden the whole course (including the 9 laps)0 -

I think you'll find that working from home should always be written as "working from home", unless you're planning an doing any work
Beware of doing this in emails to your boss though :oops:Bianchi C2C - Ritte Bosberg - Cervelo R3
