You guys need to get out and do some real climbs.
I'm doing the actual Stelvio in August.

Called off because of rain?!
Errrrrr........really not sure how to respond to that!
Yeah I know it’s bonkers, ice I can understand but a bit of the wet stuff....
I don’t work Mondays so if I can get my chores done I might go out for a solo ride
This is it really.Realsies of course! Fewer than 900 out of 100,000 times logged on the official segment are under 6 minutes.
My point was any climb can be hard if you want it to be, but no, Box Hill isn't objectively more difficult than climbs up norf or even locally in Surrey. The appeal of Box Hill is it feels like a taster of a French Col with its steady gradient and couple of switchbacks.
Edited for you.No riding for me this weekend, missing the reliability that's on, as I've got work then a Japanese restaurant tomorrow with a few beers andchillinghanging out my a** contemplating what the hell happened and trying to survive a Holton Hangover with the mrs on Sunday
Teehee. Do like the look of those new XR rotors mind!
I guess the Zwift one must be longer. When I rode that I had a broken hand and I'd been off the bike 3 weeks.... I couldn't change gear very easily so that's why it wasn't faster
Everytime i’ve done it on Zwift it’s been part of a longer effort. I could add another 120w if it was just the short effort up.
Only did Box Hill twice during a single social ride event last year at 216W, while I was new to turbo training and had a much lower estimated FTP, I'd expect to knock chunks off that 10min27secs given I did 342W for ~8mins recently https://www.strava.com/activities/2100626031/analysis/13/489 on Stelvio Pass.
Jealous! Want lots of pics, but also a proper effort up there!You guys need to get out and do some real climbs.

Showoff.Is this big enough?

Our club social was called off last weekend due to the rain, it wasn't even that bad and a couple rode anyway. Went ahead this saturday but only me and 1 other guy turned up (we're much more of a social group than a real club anyway, so most we get out is 4-6 regulars, maybe as many as 10 once or twice a year).Club ride called off again this morning because of the rain, thank god for Zwift! We’re so lucky to have the Zwift option over the winter
All I can hear is excuses. 3 of them!
