Paris Brest Paris
First run in 1891, the 1200-kilometer Paris-Brest-Paris, or "PBP" as it is commonly called, is a grueling test of human endurance and cycling ability. Organized every four years by the host Audax Club Parisien, the Paris-Brest-Paris Randonneurs is the oldest bicycling event still run on a regular basis on the open road. Beginning on the southern side of the French capital, it travels west 600 kilometers to the port city of Brest on the Atlantic Ocean and returns along the same route. Today's randonneur cyclists, while no longer riding the primitive machines used a hundred years ago over dirt roads or cobblestones, still have to face up to rough weather, endless hills, and pedaling around the clock. A 90-hour time limit ensures that only the hardiest randonneurs earn the prestigious PBP finisher's medal and have their name entered into the event's "Great Book" along with every other finisher going back to the very first PBP. To become a PBP ancien (or ancienne for the ladies) is to join a very elite group of cyclists who have successfully endured this mighty challenge. No longer a contest for professional racing cyclists (whose entry is now forbidden), PBP evolved into a timed randonnée or brevet for hard-riding amateurs during the middle part of the 20th century. The event is held in August every four years.
Randonneuring
Randonneuring (also known as Audax in the UK, Australia and Brazil) is a long-distance cycling sport with its origins in audax cycling. In randonneuring, riders attempt courses of 200 km or more, passing through predetermined "controls" (checkpoints) every few tens of kilometers. Riders aim to complete the course within specified time limits, and receive equal recognition regardless of their finishing order. Riders may travel in groups or alone as they wish, and are expected to be self-sufficient between controls. A randonneuring event is called a randonnée or brevet, and a rider who has completed a 200 km event is called a randonneur.[1][2] The international governing body for randonneuring is Audax Club Parisien (ACP), which works with other randonneuring organizations worldwide through Les Randonneurs Mondiaux (RM). Randonneuring is popular in France, and has a following in The Netherlands, Belgium, United Kingdom, Italy, Australia, United States, Canada, Brazil, Ireland, India, Indonesia, Korea, Japan and Malaysia.
Great video…!!!!!

Right on! So you glad you like it. Cheers!
Bravo Monsieur ! joli reportage et en plusieurs étapes , depuis la progression jusqu'à l'arrivée à Paris et Brest, c'était un plaisir de vous suivre 👋👍👍 Really good to follow you and I wish you had enjoyed your trip on this Paris Brest Brest, very interesting to see the regard from abroad , from USA😉
Merci! Les meilleurs aspects de Paris-Brest-Paris étaient les Français. Dans chaque ville, le long de la route, et les 1000 bénévoles aux contrôles et sur le parcours, tous nous encouragent et nous aident à réussir. Mon cœur était plein de joie en voyant leurs visages souriants et en les entendant dire "Bon Courage !" C'était une expérience spéciale. (Je suis juste en train d'utiliser Google Translate donc je m'excuse si mon français est étrange ;-))
@@blockprojects je suis vraiment heureux pour vous que vous ayez apprécié cette aventure, j'habite Brest et je suis allé en vélo jusqu'au pont de Plougastel à la rencontre des cyclistes pour les supporter, c'était vraiment formidable toute cette fête autour du vélo et ce moment que vous avez vécu tous sur la route pendant ces quelques jours ensemble , merci de nous faire partager vos sensations et bravo encore ! vive les USA 🙌 Thanks you !
C'est vraiment très gentil de votre part ! Merci beaucoup.
Great video and enjoyed it.
Glad you enjoyed it Thank you!
Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to seeing the return video. 👍
Hey Jez, Thank you! Two more episodes are up. One more to go then a quick recap from Paris. Thank you for following along.
Wow what a cool adventure! Funny I was watching another rider's video and he was disappointed there weren't any climbs. I guess it's all very relative. He abandoned halfway though due to stomach issues. A couple other youtube people I watched crashed out before the first control or didn't set a time so maybe abandoned or something. I'd love to see more of your experience.
To me, it seems like that guy was trying to "win" PBP, and once a logistical problem kept him out of the front group, he soured on everything.
Cool, thank you! Maybe I'm just a rookie but my Strava recorded 36,000 feet of gain (www.strava.com/activities/9711178054) and for me, coming from Florida, that is a huge amount of climbing. I've got two more episodes up now, and one more to go close it out. Thank you so much for watching!
Thanks for sharing you ride to Brest ! 👏👏👏
For sure! Thank you for watching.
Même si je ne participais pas au Paris Brest Paris ,je félicite tous les concurrents ayant rejoint la capitale avec ténacité 😊🚴✌️
Merci beaucoup!
Make it look like an easy 10 mile ride. Hope that's the way you finish.
Haha, it must be a trick of the camera. That was hard! Those hills from Loudeac to Brest were killers for me. But I kind of forgot my woes after a bit a rest of seeing the sea. The new episodes better capture the exhaustion, particularly returning to Loudeac and closing it out. Thank you for watching.
