Yes but this one had no numbers or helmet, cannot think they would have let him start like that!

I was joking
but I have said in the 2015 thread that if they increase the numbers again for next year, they should consider taking it out because of the congestion on it.In that case, skip Leith Hill and go straight for White Down
Or you could do Leith Hill, White Down AND Box Hill in one ride Leith Hill will wake the legs up, White Down will make you realise that you haven't missed anything special as well as making your legs hate you and Box Hill because, well, why not Can I have one too please because @swansonj said "....is there the other 364 days of the year", not "....is there the other 364 days next year"B****. I take away your TMN and replace it with a pedantry award.

Your ambition is sadly lacking, my friend.In that case, skip Leith Hill and go straight for White Down
May I refer you to the CTC's Hilly Fifty, originally devised I believe by @dellzeqq of this parish, which intersperses all of those with other hills you never even knew existed in the Surrey Hills.

That's the one. I'm convinced the climb when you turn left off the A25 at Wotton is steeper than Whitedown, as is possibly the dip on Hoe Lane coming into Sutton Abinger which appears completely perversely and counter to all rules of geography out of nowhere, and the climb out of Ewhurst is certainly longer than any of the others.

I reckoned tou were jesting but I wasn't. As my younger sister lives near Guildford I am half thinking on binning Ride London and taking my bike next time I pop down to see the family.I was joking

Just do it. I rode around the "west loop" a couple of times in January, and it was quite a nice ride. Just pick it up heading into Newlands corner, then round through Kingston and back to Guildford. There's lots of food in Kingston Market Square, so you can fill up there.
And I've never seen Box Hill nearly as busy as this when the roads are open.

I'm sure it won't be a challenge for some, but its a pretty scenic route so there's something for everyone!
In that case, skip Leith Hill and go straight for White Down
Bung Ranmore Common in there as well.

Oh I did on the way from the bottom of White Down to Box Hill.
Oh wait, your talking about going up rather than down

Guessing if I enter the ballot and get in, but my wife doesn't, I can just skip paying and my place will go to some other deserving soul? How long have to log in and complete payment? (As she might be able to get a ride elsewhere if she doesn't get in)
