- We're halfway between editions of PBP, which makes this a great time to start thinking and planning about the 2023 edition of this great ride.
In this video, I offer suggestions on some of the things you can be doing now to prepare for a successful ride in two years.
To see all of my PBP Tips videos, with tips and suggestions on a wide variety of topics, see my playlist: • PBP Tips: Insider Tips... - Навчання та стиль
I missed this! Time to spool back up!!
Look forward to seeing you on my first. It's been insightful.
I was out for a spin today and I was talking about this very subject. 2023 and planning for that start day in Aug.
We're thinking about LEL first over here in the UK
Great to see another PBP video; your PBP tips series was fantastic.
After your none-finish, I hear from this that you are still "considering" in two years. Something I would say to anyone thinking about it - you have to WANT to do this. It is tough in many ways and that hunger to finish will get you through the downs, that are inevitable over such a long and intense distance. On the friend point, I would chose someone whilst actually riding on a brevet - it is very hard to go at any speed which you are not comfortable with - faster or slower, even slightly. Training I think is very personal so it is right not to give advice here. My only gripe with PBP were the queues at the controls for food which were horrendous. If I did it again I would mark out places on the road to stop in and just use the controls to stamp and go. (I will not do it again. I've ticked that box. There are plenty of other longer rides available, not with the same history, granted)
It's critical to ride during the week, not just on the weekends. You need to iron out every single aspect of riding well before the 600k brevet in 2023. Planning sleep cycles for the longer rides is where people forget. You must sleep in 45 min sections. Multiples are good. Never off, like 1 or 2 hour sections. 3 hours is best per night. (4x45)
Like your microphone
It's the built-in mic on my Rylo camera, with a little piece of "dead cat" sound deadening on the front-facing mic. It has always worked really well.
always enjoy your vlogs, more of a tourist myself, but I see you've seen the light :-) ?
