    How does that work - do you have to qualify using the type of bike you will ride in PBP? That is, would you have to do the full brevet series using the tandem (and presumably, the same partner) if you intend to ride PBP with it?

    Just idle curiousity on my part, since I only plan to do some 200K brevets and mayybeee a 300K this year.

    Now there's the spirit! Think big and you can do it! 300 is not much more than 200, really!! (Assuming you can stand the company.... )

    And hey, once you do 300, 400 is a piece of cake.

    OK now you're just being silly !!!!

    400K gets into the realm of sleep deprivation. Not sure how I would deal with that.

    It's really not that bad. Of course my longest ride has been 17 hours, so that's not really sleep deprived. For all I know, it could be awful.
