Ride Report: LEL 2013

[Susan Otcenas]

I finally got around to finishing my ride report of the 2013 edition of the London-Edinburgh-London 1418km randonnee. While one of the hardest things I've ever done, LEL was also one of the most rewarding.

I hope you enjoy the report!

What a great chronicle of an adventure in believing in your self…..with words/moments I can carry with me during hard climbs or long rides!!!!! Thanks for the inspiration!!!!!!

“finally, we could start to believe we just might finish this thing” :)

Thanks, ladies! Yes, it was quite the adventure... It's hard to *remember* to believe in yourself when you are exhausted and feeling hopeless. I have a T-shirt that says "Belive you can and you're halfway there.". Words to live by. :)

Forwarded to a rando-friend, and to another friend who is dating a rando-rider. Not sure which one appreciated it more.

I absolutely loved this report. This ride is completely on my not likely but a girl can dream bucket list. Your reports are so much fun to read.

Thanks!
