Manny, To clarify, PBP only happens every four years. The most recent one was in 2011 so we all have a bit of time till the next one to decide if and what bike to ride. In my opinion, the route and scenery are not the main reasons to go do PBP. It is riding with thousands of other randonneurs from around the world, and experiencing the overwhelming support and camaraderie from people along the route. Sure, any riding in France is great, but if you just want to go ride in France, there are tons of more interesting or challenging routes to do than trying to recreate PBP on your own. Do PBP as PBP. To rivramble or whatever, you have the whole country for that.
All that said, I will be doing the 200k on one of my Pelicans. See you all out there. Gabe On Thursday, January 24, 2013 7:14:34 PM UTC-8, Manuel Acosta wrote: > > You got it Will.
