Didn't sleep well last night but I've still been fairly productive this morning.
I've tidied the kitchen and sorted out the bags in the front garden that had the tomatoes in them.
The postman brought my London - Floris - London tee shirt!
He also brought a […]

People keep asking what's next after #LEL2025. I was originally muttering some stuff about gravel but have decided nothing is next, or rather, I'm next. It's officially the off season, and training gets in the way of basic stuff like bones, nutrition, housework, rehab, doggos, skills, etc 1/
"I came through Mickleton again and realised that the whole village was decorated with cycles and scarecrows – apparently the local community had organised an LEL-themed scarecrow contest"

"London Edinburgh London 2025 must have been the best ‘cancelled’ ride in the history of cycling. Quickly relabeled “London Floris London”, it was a mass application of the principle that “when life gives you lemons, make lemonade.”

La culminación de mi temporada de #ciclismo #randonneur llegaba con la #LEL2025 (Londres-Edimburgo-Londres, 1539 km en 120 horas).
Todo iba a ser perfecto, la habíamos preparado a conciencia... pero las cosas algunas veces no salen como se habían planeado 😪

Another great photo from LEL. This time with LEL Organiser/top man extraordinaire Major Tim aka Magic Tim

Rachel (Landlady) & myself (Potboy) set up the Riders Return bar on the Friday. I rode the Sunday & Monday. We were
back at Writtle on Tuesday to open the bar again.
Boy, my fellow #LEL riders were a thirsty bunch. Shame we couldn't do the whole ride, but that's life. Roll on 2029

LEL 2025 Day 1.
Writtle to Malton. 232 miles for the day. Then the storm Floris shit hit the fan.

Last night we were lucky enough to be included for dinner at curry&cocktails with a bunch of RUSA still in Chelmsford for #LEL2025 and we ate table-style, with an entire table of starters before this shot of mains (which wasn't even complete). I brought home a curry amalgamation for breakfast today.
Gnarly old hand and wrist with a gnarly wrist band
Is it too soon to remove my #LEL2025 rider wrist band?
When you assumed you'd be finishing #LEL2025 in December....
I didn't get any pics of myself during #LEL2025, but Ian Biller did and I found them on his Strava. I think both of these are from the first day.
Here are some food photos from #LEL2025: Roast at the control in Richmond, Pizza from a takeaway joint later in Richmond, Cider in a small town fixing Larin's puncture, and Halloumi kebabs at St. George's Inn on the south side of the Humber Bridge after we rushed across in case winds closed it.
ITV covered the LEL/Storm Floris situation:
"ITV Border reporter caught up with Ian McBride as he reached the checkpoint at Brampton in Cumbria."

Wide awake at 5:45. Anyone know how I reset my clock from @audaxuk.bsky.social time and back to BST?

I cannot even begin to express my gratitude to all those volunteers and organisers that make LEL possible. You are, quite literally, amazing.

An LEL finisher's medal on the Pashley Guv'nor frame
After a most leisurely trundle from Northstowe through Henhan, I've finally arrived at Writtle. It's odd, a party atmosphere but no real sense of achievement.
My last LEL, it's a pity the weather gods intervened.
#LEL2025
Kinda: London-Edinburgh-London. 1500km with a time limit of 128 hours. It’s a leisure thing if you’re into #Type2Fun.
#LEL2025
I made it back to Writtle last night and effectively finished London-Richmond-London. Jesse came and met me at the end with sneakers, for I was So Done wearing cycling shoes. My finisher's medal says #LEL2025 (they obviously couldn't reprint them); my brevet card partially stamped. 1/
いままでイギリスのストームとか気にしたことなかったけど、Wikipediaを眺めると毎年8月に1〜2個発生してる(2022-2024シーズンとか1年で2個発生した2個が8月)昨年の8月下旬に発生したものはハンバー橋を直撃したようなので、今回がこれだったらもっとヤバかったかも。
LELが7月末〜8月頭に開催されるのも、これをギリ避けるためだったのかな🤔

Have to say, the food at Northstowe is brilliant.
Have just eaten my body weight in pasta, curry, lentils, rice and more beans!
#LEL2025
Have now arrived at Northstowe.
The final part of that leg was simply heartbreaking. So many lovely looking pubs and i rode past all of them.

#LEL2025
And gentlemen in England now a-bed
Shall think themselves accursed they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That rode with us upon #LEL2025.
