You're perfectly positioned. SFR has the most fun. If I can keep up, I'm hanging with them.

I think you might have to qualify for PBP by doing a bunch of sanctioned randonneur routes/events. I might be wrong, but you should check.

Yes, 200, 300, 400, 600 in 2019.

You definitely do

Ps. There are $400 round trip flights to Paris right now

I'm thinking or should say dreaming of doing PB 2019.

True that you have to do a series 200 - 600 RUSA randos the same year to qualify

[modernfuturist]

Going to try to do a full series this year (most distance I've done is around 400k) and gauge the feasibility of committing to PBP 2019!

I want to go. I dnf'd my 600k after 500km in 2015, and didn't want to go to PBP badly enough to ride another one. Hoping to ride a 1200k or 1000k or both this year.

but that's just for your bike. Actually, what airlines, and what do they charge for your bike? That was how much it cost to get my bike to PBP in 2011

San Francisco Randonneurs had 70 riders last time. While 3 finished under 54 hours, many more finished over 88 hours. I would like to go again next year.

If you haven't done a similar distance before, I would suggest getting started this year. SFR has a populaire this Sunday, good way to get your toes wet!

I was more active in the Eastern PA randonneurs group when we lived in PA than here in SF. I have done two rides with SFR since moving here. I had aspirations for PBP a while back then we had kids. This could be an opportunity since we are already planning to go to France.

Gotta use those frequent flier miles and go first class where everything is free. when I did Paris Roubaix I spent $20 or so to fly 1st Class with a bike.

Our season starts early here and we had our 200 last week. There are 300s in early February. It's nice during PBP years if you want to get everything out of the way early.
