1500km without food stops! The strategy that helped Ian McBride beat the storm to Edinburgh

Ian McBride reveals the fueling strategy, training regime, and bike setup that helped him outpace Storm Floris during the 2025 London-Edinburgh-London (LEL) ultra-cycling event. Amid oppressive winds that halted the northward journey of over 2,000 riders, Ian stood alone: the only participant to reach Dalkeith near Edinburgh, riding through the storm’s fiercest onset before the Scottish northbound leg was officially cancelled. At the Hawick control I'm a volunteer, and Ian he shares his insights and key tips for endurance, gear setup, and mental grit. A remarkable tale of perseverance and preparedness.
