Box Hill - what's an achieveable benchmark time?

[quote="Sylv"]Didn't you time yourself on the off-road course once Nick?

A parallel road vs off-road race would be good fun.

I think it's about 1.3km off-road, so assuming 13km/h do it in 6 min it could be a pretty close one.

i was just a few seconds under 8 mins on the offroad course, can go faster on that tho i'm sure

[quote="Lucyap"]Does anyone know what the gradient of White Hill, the climb from Bletchingley to Caterham?

Lucy.

Checking my O/S map, it merits a double chevron - so over 20% then.

[nick de meyer]

just been informed that the fastest time up the chalky path at boxhill is 6 mins!!! must be worth a crack at beating for serge or sylv or george??

[Serge]

I will have a crack at this soon, just getting a bit of top end power together so I stand a chance of making it to the top. Might try and time the attempt for when the guys and girls arrive at Box on the return leg of the CR. Give something to chase .

A week after the Club Sportive I will be staging the 'Waller Pain Urban Hill Climb' for the second year. So put 12th June in your diary. Its a great little event open to all...Club/Non Club Riders, Fat Dads, Fit Mums and Kids.
