London–Edinburgh–London

London–Edinburgh–London (LEL) is a randonnée bicycle event of approximately 1,500 kilometres (930 mi) over an out-and-back course between the capital cities of London (England) and Edinburgh (Scotland).

For the fifth edition in 2005, there were 306 starters and 246 finishers, from the UK, mainland Europe, and other countries including Japan, Russia, Australia, the USA, and Canada.

Riders set out from Cheshunt, on the northern outskirts of London, or from Thorne, close to the original Doncaster start.

In a departure from previous editions, the route took a loop through Scotland, and for the first time passed over the Humber Bridge.

The route extended out to Dunfermline so included a crossing of the Firth of Forth, and passed through Edinburgh city centre.
