Spotted...

Yo! Boffwell! Had a rayt nice ride out and I am completely chuffed I made it up the right way of Box Hill (have always gone up easy way) and admittedly it's easier than it looks/you think, it's still quite an achievement for a reformed hill hater. AND I over took people AND I sprinted past mr poots at the top. I actually got out of my seat and sprinted up hills today. Not very long sprints but still...

Is your knee feeling better btw?

Box Hill is good for the old sprinting thing, I agree. The slingshot hairpins and the gentleness of the gradient are very flattering for hill-haters as you can get a bit of unexpected speed up as the road flings you round each bend. I think you guys did it the hard way by going through Effingham first, so you've got all those climby bits before you get to Box Hill itself.

My knee is much better than it was yesterday, ta, but isn't very happy with me this evening. It's just going to have to HTFU though. Strava challenges wait for no man. Or cartilage.
