Know I’m only repeating others, but this truly is an epic undertaking. In my mind, akin to climbing Everest. Kudos to all, who not only finish, but to all who sign on in earnest!

I will probably write a detailed report, but may post it on a randonneuring group as it may not be of general interest. |

Was thinking about this today - esp the fixed gear element. This must be epic - not being able to coast for days of riding. I suppose on some level this helps keep you engaged/awake, but this must be punishing as the hours wear on.
I couldn’t do this ride, but romanticize it. It would be a Randonneurs rite of passage ! |

I used to ride fixed gear for some short period of time ans for training purpose when I was racing years ago - but I could not even imagine doing a fixed gear for PBP!!! Just insane what these riders are doing!!

I dnf'd after 1000km after suffering for about 24 hours with swelling knees that had me walking up some of the hills. I found myself envying the people that couldn't get their card stamped a little too much. But it was great. It was so much easier this time now that I have ridden other 1200k rides. PBP 2011 was my first 1200k.

This year t054. Rode Fixed in 2015. Seemed easier. Was in better shape. Might have been easier this year if I discovered my dragging brake before mile 540. Good times. Ride Safe, BamBam Last edited by bambam; 08-27-2019 at 02:17 PM. |

The nice thing about riding fixed is the temperature fluctuations at night do not affect you as much. Ride Safe, BamBam |
