Sorry, can I just confirm (I know it's there in type, but just wanted to make sure!) that as an Audax UK member who joined at the start of last year, as long as keep up my membership, I'm guaranteed a place for LEL2021? Thanks!
I suppose it's possible that there won't be enough spaces for all the people with "guaranteed" entries!
I remember saying to people last year not to worry if they didn't do an audax last year as PBP has never sold out before!
Annoying as mine lapsed for a few months over the winter.
I can’t imagine it’s going to be enforced like this. Having a joining date before the cut off should surely be enough?

Having a joining date before the cut off should surely be enough?I spoke with the membership secretary about this on Wednesday. She is minded to be relatively relaxed up until now, but rather stricter once she has messaged all members. However by 'relaxed' she meant a few weeks, not a few months.
That's a relief as I renewed on 7th Jan. I would have been disappointed if that had been interpreted as lapsed. From now on I will be sure to do it in December.
Next year's LEJOG, at 1400 km is also intended to be LRM so it's a safe assumption that it will count towards the LEL "early entry" criteria.
We haven't confirmed rider numbers or the entry fee yet, but they are highly likely to be similar to 2017.

Sorry... "2000 places" was the phrase.
