Glad you enjoyed the video. Hopefully it will be helpful for newbies like ourselves to negotiate the French railway system. All the best for your PBP 23
Hi Regan: You put out interesting and helpful videos. Question: You did a ride from Ramboullet to Brest on a Smart Trainer. What was your average power in Watts? I could not get this number from anyone. Thanks
Thanks for your support. I rode on Zwift for 604kn and climbed an elevation of 6750m at an average moving speed of 24.8km/h in a total elapsed time of 28h49 min, riding time of 24h 22 minutes. I stopped for sleep, rest and washroom breaks for just about 4h 27 minutes which was much longer than I had planned. I started at 4pm to replicate my actual start time and to see how I would perform after being awake for five hours before starting time. My average power was 127 watts which equates to 1.34 watts per kilogram with my body mass being 95kg. Hope this helps with your planning.
We were trying to replicate conditions for the PBP 2023 and see how practical it was to use the train system. we were also on a very tight time schedule and preferred to spend time in Rambouillet exploring the sights of the town. Overall it was an awesome experience

Very informative video. Why didn’t you join Rambouillet on your bike ? You have secure bicycle roads (66%) for 55km.

@@reganarendse6157 it seems really difficult !
Nice video you can put it on our FB page
Thanks Alex. I will be happy to share it!
The taxi driver was super optimistic in getting our bike boxes into his taxi 🤣🤣
It sure was funny at the time 😂. But it was a relief when we finally got going!
What brand is your bike case?

For two or more people, perhaps a taxi van is better than the hassle of trains.
I think we will have to order a taxi van in advance for 2023. Thanks for the advice
Be careful, it is totally forbidden to take the subway with your bike.
