My husband Chris has qualified for PBP and tells me you post a lot on a rando thread, so I knew you were training for it too. Hope you guys meet when you're there! I'll be there too but just for the museum/cafe part.
It's my own fault that I rode it alone. I didn't look too hard for companions. I find it difficult to ride with other people for so many miles. I end up either feeling rushed or held back, sometimes both emotions in the space of a few minutes.

This 600K completes my SR, so I'm good to go too. I still plan to do at least one more 600K and may do the SIR 1000K in June. It's on my training plan. I see Chris is signed up for the 1000K as well.

Would be fun to meet up in France (We arrive on 8/17 and are staying at the Mercure). Jeff is coming along as well. His plan is to consume as many calories, preferably in the form of baked goods, as I burn off. :-) After PBP, we are going to Chamonix for a week. I will relax and ride my bike as my legs allow (and eat lots of baked goods! and drink lots of wine!), while he climbs Mont Blanc.
