Yeah I plan on packing some layering stuff, been through a lot of rides at 10c or lower. We’re still cooking up here though over 30 last week and high humidity to make it worse. I hope for moderate...

I'm L-something... glad I am gonna be leaving early-ish. I hope to make Loudeac early enough to get a few hours of sleep since I booked an airbnb 800m off the course, and then get to Brest before 40...

Yeah I took a look thinking earlier slots might have opened up for some reason but it seemed like there was just room in the later waves so I didn't bother switching.

Yeah, I just booked my flights too, flying out on the 14th and coming back on the 25th. Those days were cheaper and they are both direct flights so that's nice. I am planning on riding from the...

I just found an airbnb right in Loudéac on the route for a 100$ for two nights... booked it as soon as I saw it. I wasn't originally planning to ride that far without sleeping but I think I will push...

Jeez, that seems weird that they've shut down applications for the medal... too bad if you haven't done a 600 yet, no SR medal for you! I'd be annoyed if I weren't going to PBP and was planning to do...

I picked one around 14:15 for the bike check, I plan to sleep in and that leaves me enough time to find some cheap brunch and ride over for the bike check. I hope the 2XL jersey is a good fit, seems...

I made some reservations for rooms in Trappes. I haven't decided yet if I want to try and snag an airbnb for the ride or roll the dice and just sleep/shower randomly at the controls. I have a flight...

Looks like they added some earlier departures for more riders... which are all full, I assumed from people moving to an earlier start time. I moved my start up to 18:45 which is nicer than 19:45 so...

Looks like there's about a 1000 places left according to the PBP site as of today, ~500 for the 90h start with the remainder split between the other two times. Anyone with a 300K better be at the...

I'll probably just stick with the 90 hour start, I dunno how my training will end up progressing this year anyway. I will have to do another night start event to try and get better at them.

Could always go as a volunteer and do some touring in the area after the ride... I know some people that did PBP as a tour last year.

I wonder if there are over 5000 people that did 1000/1200 rides last year... I'd be kind of surprised but I have no idea how popular randonneuring is worldwide, beyond "it's growing"
