[RBW] Re: How was your PBP?

[Iron Rider]

It was an amazing experience. I rode my A. Homer Hilsen. The ride report is 
posted on the page as a new topic.

Thanks, all! And if you're interested at all in randonneuring or 
long-distance cycling (or currently ride crazy long brevets) -- PBP is the 
event to go that will validate all of the low points you'll hit / will ever 
hit during a ride. It really lived up to the hype. Such a magical event!

Cheers,

Jenny

Ditto...awesome report.  A few days ago I asked my wife what we were doing 
in four years and told her about about PBP.  Went to dinner with in-laws a 
bit later and they started asking about this crazy race in France that I 
was going to do.  I may have committed myself...or I need to be committed!

Re: [RBW] Re: How was your PBP?

[Patrick Moore]

I missed Jenny's post, so glad I caught this one.

Jenny: very well written and photographed. Your "sideways" approach gives
at least this reader more social context for the ride. I was surprised and
pleased to see a contingent from India (what a huge difference 50 years has
made!) and from the Philippines (my mother's country).

Someone told me that the average age of PBP riders is 55: is this accurate?

What sort of gearing (chainrings X cogs) is typical?

Patrick Moore, who will always and only be a vicarious brevet rider.

Jenny,

Great Job!  I went straight to the food pics.  I was in Paris in April for 
a different endeavor (marathon!) and can appreciate how wonderful simple 
foods become after such a physical effort!

[Jenny Oh Hatfield]

PBP was magnificently hard and wonderful and painful and life-changing. It 
took me just about the same amount of time to write all of my blog posts as 
it did to ride PBP itself! I've collected my thoughts and texts into seven 
blog posts if you'd interested in my journey.

The Cyclists (an introductory post of sorts) 

Landscapes 
Architecture 
Bicycles 
The French 
Food, Glorious Food 

The Highs, The Lows and the Highs 

 (pretty 
close to a full recap of the ride with links to the other posts)

Cheers,

Jenny
