London Edinburgh London is a World famous audax event.
londonedinburghlondon.com
Over 1500 kilometres, with 13,000 metres of climbing.
The 2022 edition had 2000 entries, with 50% travelling from overseas.
The event is something I have wanted to do for years, and had entered pre-COVID and the event had been postponed a year for that reason.
My personal aim was to push my body and see how I would react and cope over multiple days. I know my single-day endurance is good but I have not attempted a multi-day day event with limited sleep.
A truly incredible experience, although it was certainly a tough few days on the bike.

Saw Matt while volunteering at Innerleithen, can confirm he was in bits.

@MattPage Год назад

That was a definite low point! And only around 700km left from there!

@joules531 Год назад

An awesome ride - respect. But also, thanks for the way you filmed this, which provided an insight into the highs and lows of an event such as this.

@georgehunt1011 Год назад

Unbelievable physical and mental effort Matt. Hope you’ve been able to get some rest and good to see you back on the bike on Strava!

@mrmtb1058 Год назад

Absolute machine Matt. This video gave me goosebumps. Brilliant. Thanks for sharing.

Just found your channel Matt, always amazed at the mental and physical effort it must require to take on these epic challenges well done. Top vlog account of your ride thoroughly enjoyed watching. Another follower btw...Nige😀🚴👍

@robertcampbell8845 Год назад

Great Vlog Matt, I did it as a 53 year old, Not as quick as yourself (118hrs) LOL, but it does capture everything. I'm sharing it with everyone that I know, to give them an in-site. Now a subscriber and instagram follower. Meet you this year at Andy Coxs 400 out of aberystwyth. All the best Rob C.

@MattPage Год назад

Thanks Rob. All being well I will try and get in for PBP, so I will use Andy's event for that.

@guywoollett Год назад

That was hardcore. I was there this year too. It was brutal. Chapeau to you, incredible effort. Good to see it's also super hard for the fastest guys.

@MattPage Год назад

Absolutely. There is no way someone can ride that and find it easy.

@BozoTheBear Год назад

Champion!! I did York-Edinburgh a month ago, and can attest to it being pretty hilly - I can't imagine going this far though. I'm watching with subtitles, and "downhill to Edinburgh" came out as "downhill to swearing bro", which is definitely how I was feeling at that point!

@mojochaser6383 Год назад

Huge Congratulations! That was absolutely phenomenal! 💯 🎊🎉💥🥵🚴‍♂️ P.s. I'm pleased you mentioned the winds in The Fens, as I do battle with them regularly & they are no joke! 😬 Hope you've recovered now.

@MattPage Год назад

Thank you. It was torture. Mile after mile of dead straight road with no shelter and no ability to freewheel.

@franksent4201 Год назад

Congratulations Matt - unbelivable time ! It took me 30h more ... but LEL 2022 = HH (Heat & Headwind) ;-)

@willrichards3805 Год назад

Super ride Matt. Quick chat with you in Brampton (on your way back) and said I was looking forward to the video 😂 I got the full value and rolled in early on Friday 😉 Rest up and see what's next 👍

@MattPage Год назад

Hey Will. I was in such a bad place then. Rolled in having not eaten in ages and really struggling. It was amazing the difference an hour sleep made.

@nigelgoodenough8167 Год назад

That distance in that time is an astonishing effort. Chapeau. I’ve been glued to the LEL riders with an eye on 2025. Not sure if I’m inspired or terrified…

@willrichards3805 Год назад

Do it. It was an amazing event; hard as hell but so worth it. I may do it again in 2025 or will go back and volunteer.

@MattPage Год назад

It is worth doing. Just prepare and expect some low times and plan to get yourself past them.

@sasman63 Год назад

Tremendous 👏 sas selection not as hard as that! Well done

@jamessouth5597 Год назад

Amazing riding Matt. Was following your dot as well as a couple of club mates. How much sleep did you get roughly? You mentioned and hour and a half in the video and the odd nap but I am just curious.

@mac_velo Год назад

Great video Matt. It would have been easy not film and share the low points so thank you for your honesty and transparency….even the best of the best has low days…that has gave me hope buddy. Could I ask what camera you used to film it? Thanks.

@MattPage Год назад

Thank you. The camera on the bike is a GoPro 7. Some other bits with a hero 10. The 10 has a better picture, but the mount doesn't work so well when trying to use on the bike.

@SaddleSore Год назад

Congratulations Matt. 100% beast mode. My video will be a little different when I get round to editing it. Recover well and enjoy the glory.

@MattPage Год назад

But I'd bet you had the same journey of ups and downs?

@SaddleSore Год назад

@@MattPage unbelievable emotions: from the utter euphoria of drilling it over the Lincolnshire Wolds on my own at night to the desperation of being utterly exhausted going back across the Fens. I nearly bailed at Spalding and cried several times but stopping was never really an option.

@MattPage Год назад

@@SaddleSore I'm glad it wasn't just me who hated the Fens. Hours upon hours of pedalling and feeling like you were getting nowhere.

@BikepackingAdventures Год назад

I could have told you both the Lincolnshire fens would be brutal, I've never ridden LEL but ridden many of the places on this side of the country. I live in Northern Lincolnshire and seldom visit the South of the county for the reasons you felt during LEL. When the wind is up and against you, your pedalling and literally going nowhere. For me its the long straight roads that go on for miles and miles without a single kink that do it it for me more than anything else - plain boring.

@r.davies2702 Год назад

67 hours!!! They did tell you it wasn't a race...right? Fantastic effort fella 👍

@johnnyloco11 Год назад

that was epic. Ever thought about doing a TCR?

@MattPage Год назад

Probably not. I'll hopefully do PBP next year, but not sure after that. It felt so hard after the first night, I'm not sure how I'd be cut out over a week or more.

@spencerctscott Год назад

Very impressive. Think I'd enjoy it more going slower!

@gaz5eeeee Год назад

Absolute boss! Off the scale effort, inspirational stuff… next step, Trans Continental😉

@MattPage Год назад

I think it has put me off multi-day events! 😄

@BikepackingAdventures Год назад

I can confirm there was nothing in this year's TCR route like the Lincolnshire Fens. 😅

@aemediainc Год назад

Hey Matt amazing ride! You mentioned wanting to use the me same bib for the whole ride…any recommendation? What brand and model do you like best for 60hr efforts? 😂

@MattPage Год назад

Thanks Adam. There are several good shorts, and almost all the chamois pads are made by the same company, although to the short manufacturers preference. Personally, I like Castelli and ASSOS and Alé top of the range pads are good too. The cheaper ones less so. With Castelli I like the Progetto X2 air pad, which is available on some good value shorts from about £60.

@aemediainc Год назад

@@MattPage thanks for your insights. I wore out my first ale bib and the next pair I’ve got I’m fairly disappointed, I got massive saddle sores after 300 of an 840km ride. Everyone says stick to rapha or assos.

@MattPage Год назад

@@aemediainc the Alé shorts I have are the Velocity HD2, which are the top version. The cheaper ones are nowhere near as good. ASSOS and Rapha are both good, but a little more money than some other brands.

@aemediainc Год назад

@@MattPage gotcha I’ll check those out. The ones I have are Ale R-EV1 Speed Fondo …they are comfortable but apparently not for super long days.

@stuartgreenaway8999 Год назад

No value at all sunshine. Do it again tomorrow still no value. You can pot hunt all you like all day long and have no significance whatsoever.

@MattPage Год назад

Different people have satisfaction in different things. There is no pot hunting, as there is nothing to hunt. I can get motivated and enjoyment from pushing myself. Others are motivated just by completing the route.
