Event Qualification
Riders must be a minimum of 18 years of age by July 1st 2009.
Unlike other 1200 km events, riders are not required to have completed a Super Randonneur series (A 200km,300km,400km ,600km event in one season) to enter. It is enthusiasm, commitment and desire to succeed that is important. A basic level of fitness is required and riders are advised to attain a level of fitness through a structured and progressive training plan that gives them a good chance of success.
We do not encourage riders who have not completed at least a 200km event to enter LEL. The completion of a night ride will give you the knowledge of knowing what you are up against and enable you to plan what equipment and clothing to take on the ride. The fitter you are the more you will enjoy the experience.
