Friday Night Ride to....Paris-Brest-Paris

[dellzeqq]

not late yet. The prediction is that he'll be there in the next five minutes!

 

[Aperitif]

You would think he would get his finger out - it's jolly hard work sitting here waiting.

 

[Mice]

This is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo exciting. What a star he is. Where is he?

Rimas' control page has gone dead - he must be getting an 'upgrade'!

False alarm - it's back now...unlike Rimas

 

[dellzeqq]

looking at this page http://www.paris-brest-paris.org/pbp2011/index_inscriptions.php?page=stats_controle we see that some riders have finished (!) and that there's a substantial body of riders on the road back from Brest and Carhaix-Plouguer - so Louise and Els are in good company

 

[Mice]

Frank is at Loudeac - Vive les mudguards!!

Can't quite compute that table. The numbers don't seem to tally exactly. What does H+x mean?
Louise (our ABC gal) has pulled a few minutes back on Els having now gone through CARHAIX-PLOUGUER. Go, go, go ...

Strange isnt it? I'm guessing "abandoned" - but not yet officially notified

What does H+x mean?

The only thing that makes sense is numbers expected within next 1 hour, 2 hours 3 hours
Prob more use to the control staff...

 

[Aperitif]

Having read the previous ride 'reportage' on the PBP site, it would be interesting to hear how the 'first across the line' behaved during the ride. Impeccably I assume, but it is a weird world out there...bloody cyclists!

Mortagne Au Perche pour mon pote Rimas a ce moment. The last thing he needs right now is a 'tap in'

 

[dellzeqq]

as Teef says - Rimas through Montagne-au-Perche - 1090km. He's expected at the finish at about 1.40 (12.40 here)

 

[Mice]

Frank should be arriving in Tintentuc imminently! And Rimus is missing a place on his list - I hope that doesnt matter.

Amazing. Am shattered just watching!
