Tomorrow, I leave for France.
On Sunday , I will take on the biggest cycling challenge of my life: Paris-Brest-Paris.
PBP is a 1230km (765 mile) randonee held just once every 4 years. It must be completed in 90 hours or less. To qualify, I had to complete brevets of 200km, 300km, 400km and 600km within specified time limits. For good measure, I also did a 1000km brevet, even though it wasn't required.To prepare, I rode 5220 training miles (8400 kilometers) between 1/1 and 7/31.
I think I'm ready. I hope I'm ready. Because ready or not, here I come!
If you'd like to follow me, or any of the other 5220 riders from around the world, you can do so on the PBP website. My rider # 6926.
