Breeze to the RideLondon100 Hills.

The 3 hills are: Staple Lane (alongside Newlands Corner), Leith Hill and Box Hill.

60-65miles, c.3600ft climbing.

This is a hard Challenging+ ride. However, the route is also very beautiful and scenic, and we shall have 2 café stops. These are the Dabbling Duck (hooray!) and Box Hill Café.

SPEED

Relaxed and steadily paced. No one left behind.

Own pace on hills, re-grouping at the top/bottom. Unrushed. Re-grouping at junctions.

Strava average speed over the distance likely to be 18-20kph/11-12mph because of so many hills. This means that we shall be riding along substantially faster on flat roads c. 23-26kph/14-16mph. Pace of slowest, looking out for each other.

Back around 3:30pm.
