It appears that New England Randonneurs has some new members of La Société Charly Miller.

So did Ian Hands, who of course is also a member of La Société Adrian Hands.

Ha so great. Lesser humans (myself included) can only dream of even a 90hr finish!

From French TV, the last riders to arrive at the turn-around in Brest: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8rYvhRNgDs. Only 380 miles to go!
Ultracyclist Marko Baloh finished in 44:48.

British cyclist becomes third woman ever to complete Paris-Brest-Paris on a fixie: https://road.cc/content/news/265816-...st-paris-fixie.
Of course, Emily O'Brien of Dill Pickle Gear was one of the previous two.

No such luck. Fairly strong headwind all the way to Loudeac and I was looking for a nice push on the way back from Brest. The wind shifted so a headwind on the retour also though not as strong as in the way out.
I finished in a little over 87 hours but had 7 hours off the bike each night with overnights in Loudeac (out and back) and Mortagne. All in all, the weather was as good as you can ask for on a 1200K. It got really cold at night (I ride through the night twice), into the low 40's and a damp fog that made it feel even colder. AFAIK, 27% of the field didn't finish, about normal for a 1200K. A fantastic event.

Wow. I wonder how many riders have ever done PBP faster than that on a fixed gear.

I hope you'll write a ride report. Did you ride by yourself most of the time, or in pacelines with geared riders? I've done a Super Randonneur series on a fixed gear, but it's hard for me to imagine doing a 1200 on one, not just because of hills, but also because having to pedal constantly aggravates any problems with saddle or chamois.
