I rode this in the Surry 100 closed road. It's built up to be really hard. Coming from Wales and cycling a lot in France I was surprised how easy it was. I have to admit to feeling a little disappointed. However it is a nice gentle hill with some nice views

Box Hill is a rather gentle climb, perfect as a first challenge for cyclists who want to start conquering climbs. At the top you will be rewarded with beautiful views of the surrounding area.

Box Hill to raczej łagodny podjazd , doskonały jako pierwsze wyzwanie dla rowerzystów ,którzy chcą rozpocząć zdobywanie podjazdów. Na szczycie nagroda w postaci pięknego widoku na okolice.

Box Hill is one of SE England's most famous picnic spots (see Jane Austen 'Emma'!) but it's equally famous for the unimaginatively named Zig Zag Rd. It was included in the road race in the 2012 Olympics for which the road was resurfaced and makes a good climb almost perfect. It won't kill you but you should be puffing when you get to the top – where the view is worth every turn of the pedals.

Not a heavy valve in terms of gradients, it is rather a climb you can take relatively on the big plate. You can make it as tough as you want: take it easy on the longer stretches and push on the steeper ones, or ride your comrades completely squeamish on the almost full climb, there is something for everyone.
The switchbacks are a welcome gift for those who need to drop out, and for the victors the perfect place to look over the beaten ones!

Geen zware klepper qua hellingspercentages, het is eerder een klim die je relatief op de grote plaat kunt nemen. Je maakt hem zelf zo zwaar als je wilt: rustig aan op de langere stroken en doortrekken op de steilere stroken of je kameraden volledig piepedood rijden op de quasi volledige klim, er is voor elk wat wils.
De switchbacks zijn een welkom cadeau voor diegenen die zich moeten laten uitzakken, en voor de overwinnaars de perfecte plaats om de geslagenen te overschouwen!

Included in the 2019 Prudential Ride, "classic" in the UK, usually ending in a sprinters ball. Beautiful scenery, note: driving on the left, but you get used to it quickly!
