I'm planning on riding the LEL - I reckon I'll do another SR as well leading up to it, but actually, the skill needed (from what I can see) is the ability to ride a reasonably quick 300 then recover enough to ride the next day for 5 days...
If you take your time and end up riding into the night then of course, night riding skills would be essential - my plan is to avoid that by keeping things quick during the day...
The psychological aspect is definately the hardest part of any Audax over 200km - riding in a group helps, but setting off with a group of friends is even better!
