I thought the TT they ran up Box Hill in this event was longer. I think someone said you continue past the cafe at the top and on towards Dauphins with the finish being down a small side road down there. Check before you start guys or you might over cook it any die near Dauphins where it still drags up.

Would love to watch this but won't finish work in time to get there.

There is no club record that I am aware of for this event - as no one from ACC has riden it before as part of a competition.

If it is the same as the last two years, the start is just before the first hairpin (there's a small car park there) and the end is maybe 250m after the left hand corner where the observation position is. Again, there is a small car park there too.

Times should be roughly 45s less than what people do when they time themselves on the ACC club run.

As an aside - I'm not a huge fan of where the finish is on this circuit. It puts a lot of onus on the riders to avoid the various people / cars that always seem to be moving slowly around the cafe, entrances and exits. Worth remembering that it is only a bike race - it's not worth running someone over or winding up the general public even if they are behaving like inconsiderate ar$es and getting in the way.

Paul H is the quickest with just under 6 minutes on the unofficial record table, George in second spot.
