Ok, so you want to get into cycling?
here a few tips that I've experienced over the years
I've put a lot of people into cycling
Just a few tips to start cycling in the proper way
it's coming up!
Getting out of Town, this is the bit that we like less
I think most local cyclist here would agree with me on this..
Going out from Purley towards Coulsdon
and then from there we're going to go up Chipstead Valley
where it'll be a bit more countryside-ish
and from there towards Box Hill, Surrey Hills over there
and here we are into Coulsdon
and the road is already quieter
so I'm going to show you then from here on
how is going to be
This is a much quieter town, quieter roads
so from now on, our cycling starts to be more enjoyable
Chipstead Valley it's a beautiful valley
as you can see, as soon as you come out of town
we're just probably 3 miles away
and we are in this lovely countryside
soon is going to get a bit incline uphill
nothing too challenging
coming up nicely with an agile rhythm
is only 5% max gradient
we now cycle along this beautiful golf club
as you can see
it's funny because we're not far from the centre of towns
and the scenery changes into lovely
nice countryside cycling
and here we turn right to go towards the famous Box Hill
which was the host of the Olympic Games
the road cycling race event last year
and here we are, approaching Box Hill
approaching the top of Box Hill
so in a moment you'll see the look-out
that faces down to Dorking and the valley down there
this is a nice country lane, it has just been resurfaced
last year for the Olympic Games
therefore the road is nice, there are these speed bumps
that are a little bit annoying sometimes..but you just have to slow down
that are alittle bit annoying sometimes, but you just have to slow down..
and here we are, reaching the top
the look-out ..beautiful
is one of my favourite spot since I'm exploring around Surrey
it is really beautiful
look how vaste it is this countryside ..the landscapes
it's amazing isn't it
here I'm by the popular lookout
where everybody come on the weekend particularly
it's a nice place to hang out outdoor
to go for walks, cycle of course
I often tell my friends and students
that we cycle to a place called Box Hill
that was where they held the Olympic Games
last year, so they all think that is a very tough place to cycle
but last year they did it several times in a circuit
climbing up on the other side, around here, back down and back up
I think it was 13 times the circuit
so this time we came out from this side which you are already at the top
and then we going o go down on the steeper section on the other side
and ii's a good opportunity here to
practice your first climb, playing with the gears on the steeper section you know
trying to be agile even if the road is a bit incline
and there are some nice corners to do
so I hope you come around and cycle this area here, it's fantastic
it's in the Surrey Hills, is called Box Hill and.. catch you later!
beautiful faisant, but..
POTENTIAL DANGER!
and this is the last climb
from the other side of the hill
is where the climb is more.. is steeper
at the moment my Garming is telling me it's a 4%
4% ..5% gradient
this is the second corner
and hop we go
and now we are at 8% gradient, which is not bad
now we got back to 4% gradient
here you can still see all the writings on the road
since last year's Olympics
and it is very pleasant, the scenery is just stunning
I just love looking around here
and just keep those legs spinning!
play with the gears, this is a fabulous road to practice that
you don't want to force with hard gears at the beginning
then as you get stronger, with more power in your legs..
then you'll be able to gradually push a harder gear
and maintaining the right cadence as well ..okay?
these guys are flying up here ..flying guys!
come on, come on ..spin these wheels!
coming to the last bend,
very nice and shaded
approaching the other side of Box Hill top, coming from the steeper section
as you can hear from my breathing, I tried to give it a go
and that's the good thing of the sport
you will improve as you keep riding.
Ok, so I hope you enjoyed this trip to Box Hill
as much as I do, and speak you later!
