They both rode back to Tinteniac overnight, arrived this morning.

Does this mean they are done?

Not yet!

Susan checked in at Fougeres just before noon local (6 a.m. USA Eastern), 921 km done. It took her 14:37 to get there from Paris on the out-lap, and I'm guessing she might be going a little slower by now. Go Susan!

Hmm. She has changed a lot...

There are pictures in the web site you provided.

Hah!

The link actually refers to PBP 2007 - but if they didn't update the website properly (on the website for the ride my club put on this summer, despite repeated requests, we never were able to get the web guru to take five minutes to change 2009 to 2011 or even 2010 in about six places), it's likely that the picture is from last year.

Event pictures don't usually go up until a week or so after the event ... but OTOH, maybe that's what 900 km in 62 hours will do to you.

I certainly hope that is not the case! I was already impressed that they could post pictures with rider names so fast.

Here's the route they've traveled:
