For the fifth week of the NCC Zwift Fall Hill Climb/Time Trial series, we road Box Hill in London.
The 1.87 mile hill has 4% average gradient. Despite being a “short” climb, it is extremely challenging!
We had seven participants in the group ride. Our two solo riders finished with the same time according to Strava, so they split the collective points. It was extremely close throughout the competition today.
Kevin, Zinj, Charlie, and Justin set Strava PRs for the course.
Here are today’s results:
1. Weinman, Kevin; Time: 6:54*; 16.3 mph; 9 points
2. O’Keeffe, Jonathan; Time: 7:22; 15.2 mph; 8 points
3. Guo, Zinj; Time: 7:30*; 15 mph; 7 points
4. Bailey, Charlie; Time: 7:57*; 14.1 mph; 6 points
5. Leander, Jon; Time: 7:58; 14.1 mph; 4.5 points
5. Eichenlaub, Justin; Time: 7:58*; 14.1 mph; 4.5 points
7. Gould, Marcus; Time: 7:59; 14.1 mph; 3 points
