04/08/25 London-Edinburgh-London - Not according to plan!

After hearing that the event may be suspended, I decided to try and get to Richmond, 50 miles away. I knew Nicky was waiting for me in a Travelodge, very close to the control point. I thought if I could make it there, get a shower, some decent sleep and some fresh kit on from one of my drop bags, I would be ok to continue. Unfortunately my knee did not respond well to the next 20 miles and I knew if I could not complete this section, I would have no chance of crossing The Pennines or riding around the hills of Scotland. Sad to say that I made the decision to abandon LEL.

I know that some of you on Strava had donated to my charity for this ride, as I did not complete the challenge, if you would like to have your donation re-imbursed, please send me a message.
