Well, I am not an event sort of person, so am not really the right source to ask. However, I note the Rene Herse site says a fair percentage of its bikes are ordered with Paris-Brest-Paris in mind. Presumably some of those people will want to use the Pari-Moto. I believe Kone, and elsewhere Peter Weigle both suggested as much in discussions on the tire. Again, what do I know? Organized rides are absoulutely not something I do.
