Nice going! My 4 hr 12 min gives me a target to beat - next year aiming to get under 4 hours. Not really had many hills to ride this year aside from Ditchling on the London 2 Brighton and this route changed that - knew it was challenging so pleased to complete it for the experience.
Need to work on the climbing technique a bit!

That's totally respectable. Some of those hills are pretty challenging!
I love the roads around Dorking. It's kind of my local weekend area, so I know all the hills there, and that certainly helps. But doing a Sportive and following somebody else's route is really fun, as you end up going up same hills from different sides, and I really enjoyed some of the countryside I had not been to before.
Interestingly enough I sat down and worked out how far off route I went yesterday, and it translates to about 7 minutes of time loss, which would put me in the top three times.
*Note to self - pay attention to route markings*
