About this route
This route was designed by the organisers of the Box Hill Original, UK Cycling Events, not by London Dynamo.
Sportive routes change from year to year, and this page follows the route file we hold. The Box Hill Original ran in the autumn as part of the Cycling Weekly sportive series and is no longer run.
On the route
The Box Hill Original was a late-season sportive in the Surrey Hills, and the Epic was its longest route. This version starts near Box Hill itself, takes in the Box Hill zigzags within the first few kilometres and reaches Ranmore Common at about 17km. White Downs comes late in the day, at about 157km.
The route measures 166.3km with 2,266m of climbing, which gives it a Terrain label of Challenging. Its notable climbs are listed below.
This page is for riding the route outside the sportive, on your own or with friends. There are no organised feed stops, so plan your food and water for the day.
