FIRST TIME UP BOX HILL | Last day in London

[@Omnis2]

I have a black and blue TCR that I call Bruise Wayne. That Pinarello colorway is just outstanding.

[@amy.cycling.adventures]

Sounds lovely!!

[@DanGaskell]

Who would have ever thought there's such beautiful countryside near London? You are living a great life for yourself! Ride on!

[@Quadlaners]

That's because it's not in London, not even within the M25, not sure why she keeps saying it, it's just above Dorking in Surrey not London 😂

[@jamesbann3577]

Who'd of thought the green belt was green? 🤷

[@FoobsTon]

The good thing about getting out of the South East was getting some decent roads to cycle. The Mole Valley area here is appropriately named!

[@durianriders]

Great edit. Crazy how people dress so dark and then wonder why drivers get too close. Be safe be seen!

[@keyshawnou]

I'm french and I love how you all say "courgettes cake" 😬 And it's really delicious !

[@malcontent_1]

I hope you connected w/ the coffee guy, good person to know in the London area. BTW, *tahini* is a toasted sesame seed sauce, sort of a thin creamy peanut butter (fyi, _peanuts are not nuts_ -- they're legumes).

[@Neilhuny]

I must admit that I did smile when Amy said she hadn't heard of it. I'd bet she's eaten it a few times as one of the constituents of hummus...

[@ricksvic6062]

Jiggers Bank is a good one, and if you both want to make a day of it you can head over to The Burway and experience little Switzerland.

[@grahambowes756]

Great stuff and my neck of the woods. 👍

Beautiful there but I couldn't handle the clammy weather all the time. I'd be so depressed without my Sun. Colorado gets cold but plenty of sun

Great unboxing of a hill, any clue of it's nomenclature, shoe, coal, match, hedge, cardboard?

Just curious, shouldn't such a recreational road be close to motorized traffic? except to those who actually have a house on the street of course!

[@grantjewsbury3488]

simple answer is no Box Hill is very popular with motorists, bikers and cyclists, i have ridden, driven and cycled it and we have learned to coexists

Wonderful, casual video Amy. I've seen others film their Box Hill rides, but yours seemed nicer and much more scenic. Many others treat it like a wanna-be race.

[@amy.cycling.adventures]

Glad you enjoyed it ☺️

[@HeadPack]

Amy zipping up the hill, cut back to Kyle huffing and puffing, cut to Amy speaking excitedly into the camera while zipping up the hill, cut back to Kyle huffing and puffing and trying to keep pace with Amy. Your editing is just as charming as the two of you are.

You’ve been for a ride in my backyard! ❤ The cafe at top of Coombe Lane, up Crocknorth, down then up Box Hill, so happy you got to experience it while collecting Pinny 😊

[@amy.cycling.adventures]

Was lovely!! Thanks for watching, great place for you to ride, enjoy!

[@chrisperceval193]

Crocknorth Rd stings a bit. Try Whitedown Lane or for climb with a 25% kicker at the end - Barhatch Lane over near Cranleigh...

If I saw a car driver having to keep filming everything they were doing, it think they were a bit of a desperate twat. Hope you get a 360 some time soon

Thank you Amy, you put a smile on my face as I’m lying here recovering from a knee replacement. Spurring me on. Thank you ❤❤

[@markheying2830]

Just keep in mind that whenever you ride Bikes with at least 1 other Girl, be sure to keep your Bike & her Bike close together.

[@davefave4351]

You should have checked out Ranmore Common just down the road...

[@julianallen515]

I bet there were a few Zwifters that were surprised how far Box Hill is from central London.

[@Rob_Evs]

Great vid Amy. It looks like you had a lovely group of friendly riders.

[@HirdyGeneral]

Before the start of Ride London, lots of people were afraid of Box Hill. Had to explain to them that it’s not even a hill when you live on the edge of the North Yorkshire moors

[@amy.cycling.adventures]

Yes lots more much harder climbs in the Peaks!

[@HirdyGeneral]

@@amy.cycling.adventures don’t have much peaks experience. Maybe one day

[@raybraydh2956]

Used to love Box Hill many years ago just too busy now so avoid it especially in the summer at weekends

[@seryozhasteve]

What a lovely vid from a British cycling scene classic. So friendly and British. Olympics they did 9 turns up that hill. Recommend up and over Leith Hill for an equally scenic route.

[@6ft8incyclist]

Been up Box Hill on Zwift .any times..Great Video of the actual climb Thank you

[@amy.cycling.adventures]

Glad you enjoyed it ☺️

[@duncanrhodes4778]

Another inspirational video, thanks Amy. (And Kyle!)

[@ddot2016]

Get your track accreditation that would make a good video.

[@Yahshuah]

Вы наверно из велоклуба?🤔

[@BeerMatt96]

Staple Lane - Crocknorth Road - Denbies Winery - Box Hill. A nice ride on the 2012 tourist route (Box Hill is like Tissington Trail for the locals). It's a bit hillier over towards Leith Hill (Leith Hill Lane, Tanhurst Lane, Coldharbour Lane, Barhatch Lane, Pitch Hill, Whitedown Lane), and a lot quieter, now you've done the tourist trap bit. Enjoy!

[@PhilB303]

crocknorth is the "kicker", nice climb.

[@therezeparc]

Hi,that's great activities Keep safe.

[@COOKIE_wcc_]

The peaks have nothing on dales

That’s my default cafe van 4:20 at the top of the Staple lane climb. Excellent bacon rolls Kyle.

Jealous we rave about Box Hill but you have the whole Derbyshire open climbs and expansive views all over the Peak District ! plus all those swanky arrogant london cyclists on flash pinarellos all over the place in Surrey.oh oops. thats you now...

When I was cycling in the Peak District a local told me if you can cycle in the Peak District you can cycle anywhere. He was dead right!

[@amy.cycling.adventures]

Yes it defo sets you up with the amount of hills!

[@neilpassingham7309]

I've only been up Box Hill once, I was working in the area and had my Brompton in the car. I went out for a ride one evening and came across the sign for the hill and had to give it a go.

[@amy.cycling.adventures]

It’s got to be done haha!

[@FALplayFrase]

Amy, you need some gloves 😂 come do ride London in may! It’s gorgeous and no hills!

You should all come over here to Milano and then to lake Como, there are some FANTASTIC views over lakes here, and great climbs

[@Soul-u9h]

The London or Yorkshire cafes where this is going to be showed off at will start charging 10 quid for an espresso now. 7k for a road bike ridiculous

[@davidswenton1038]

Amy, how did ‘She’ dig in on the wet pavement? The only way to test out a new bike, is to see how it performs up hill climbs.

[@andyschleider9666]

Leith Hill is close by, and steeper - maybe you should check that out when you're back in the area!

[@julianallen515]

Back in the later 90s we used to race up that in a Duathlon called the Box Hill ballbuster, run up it once, ride up three times and a final run up it. It made that hill quite nasty.

[@rollandjoeseph]

No, only guys remarks about her saying " down we go" ..hahaa🤣

[@amy.cycling.adventures]

Ohh my next vid is a hilly ride in the Peaks we did on Saturday ☺️ if you want a real challenge Winnats Pass is defo one to try, tbh anywhere you go in the Peak District you will get hills!

[@mungflesh199]

Great video! So nice to see your first Boxhill experience. It's an average climb but for the area is a beautiful scenic one. Next time you're in Surrey Hills, try The Octopus, which is a real taster menu of hills and a decent challenge. You would also like Tanhouse Farm cafe, but best to visit in nice weather.

[@amy.cycling.adventures]

Thank you! Ohh the farm cafe sounds great thanks for the recommendation ☺️

Yes such a good surface, wish all the roads were like that!

[@mistersmith158]

Wonderful Amy loved that cause Box Hill is on Zwift. Quite narrow though in reality. Follow that what makes you excited about life and more adventures to make you smile will come. Gratitude is the secret sauce so keep that in there too. Awesome group ride lots of lovely people and the desserts we making me jealous! Love that you are staying in the moment and enjoying every experience well played mate. Jigs all around nice! Ding dang dillo yippee and TTFN to ya.

Hey - what road bike would you recommend for a newbie rider? I’m a distance runner transitioning from running to duathlon

[@amy.cycling.adventures]

Hiya! I started with a Carrera road bike from Halfords ☺️ no need to start with an expensive bike from the off ~ cycling is an expensive hobby! But as long as you’ve got a range of gears then you should be good, I moved on to more expensive (carbon) bikes when I really got the bug ☺️ good luck in triathlon! Also second hand is a great option too!

[@malcontent_1]

Perhaps, more important than which bike is how well it fits you. If possible, I strongly recommend you _get a bike fit _*_before_*_ you buy_ anything.
