That's interesting, Bob. Rugged types huh? Here 500 or so request private homes to stay in.
What's the weather like during the PBP? I thought everyone leaves Paris in August. Mystery rider reveal yourself to satisfy our vicarious ride envy.

The real hardcore don't use tents and sleeping bags, but sleep in their clothes in bus shelters or on the floor of halls. The most famous event is Paris-Brest-Paris (PBP). One of our very own PDMLers is doing it this year - 16-20 August. Perhaps he'll show himself and we can follow his exploits online. http://www.paris-brest-paris.org/index2.php?cat=accueil&lang=en&page=edito B -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
