The Box Hill Stava KoM was broken recently, twice. First by Rory Townsend from the Q36.5 team, followed shortly afterwards by Dom Jackson from Foran CCC.
There was a lot of reporting of this. According to several websites, Box Hill is “an iconic climb”, and “perhaps the most coveted Strava segment in the UK.” It seems appropriate that while France has Alpe d’Huez, and Spain has Sa Calobra, the UK’s icon of athleticism is a short, gentle climb, rounding two whole hairpins to a National Trust cafe.
