2025 London Edinburgh London (LEL) Thread

LEL 2025 is scheduled from 8/3-8/8 2025

Now that the first two rounds of ballots are complete, anyone got a ticket? And what’s your plan to prepare?

I got in and will need to work on my hills endurance, for ine

If you did get in, you should have gotten an email for the final payment. It is due by November 30, 2024.
A final lottery round will happen in January 2025.

Power is pretty much there @290W, stretch goal is 320W by end of July but we’ll see. Primary focus though is to reduce the 25% body fat down to something sensible as that really is my low hanging fruit at the moment.

National 24hr TT is the week before which I’m hoping to tick off 600Km so LEL rounds out the SR2500. I get an LEL place I’ll be setting off tail end with the intention of a full value party ride socialising and helping out anyone struggling as much as I can.

Having to go through the Jan '25 ballot as I let my AUK membership lapse during the lurgy years and so missed a guaranteed entry by a couple of months.

Good luck to anyone else entering the ballot.

Will have to test my luck in the lotto in January. Not completely committed to doing it this year, but if I get a spot that’s a sign lol.

Most prep would just be logistics, then just staying in current shape till then; probably a basic rando series this spring. I’ve done enough of these now that I don’t really have specific physical prep anymore.

Pretty much the same. Got my SR plus another 12000km of riding in the bank last year so I know I could do it now. If I prep properly for the 24hr everything else looks after itself fitness wise.

Loads of LEL logistics info on this TR thread. LEL (london edinburgh london) 2022
