"Dear rider
Thank you for your interest in London Edinburgh London. We’re very busy planning what we hope will be a fantastic adventure!
The event will take place from Sunday 28 July to Thursday 1 August 2013. Registration will be on 27 July 2013. Our start location will be:
Davenant Foundation School
Chester Road
Loughton
Essex
IG10 2LD
Riders will start in groups, between 07:00 and 10:00. You will not be able to choose your start time, but you will be able to start with your friends.
You will also be able to start in central London. We are arranging a special start at 06:00, hopefully from outside Buckingham Palace.
The route is 1400km, with a minimum speed of 12kph throughout. It passes through a wide variety of countryside, with both hilly and flat sections. The route is not signposted, but we will provide you with a routesheet and gpx files.
We haven’t confirmed the entry fee yet, but it is likely to be around £210. This will include:
- all food and drink at controls
- dormitories
- showers
- finishers’ medal
- motorbike support along the route
You will be able to enter online from January 2013, and pay by credit or debit card. You do not need to qualify to enter.
We are developing our website, which will have much more information about the route and controls. We hope this will be ready by December 2011, and we will send you another email to let you know.
We look forward to seeing you in 2013!
Best wishes
The London Edinburgh London team"
