I lived in France for a short time in the 80s, which is when I first learned about PBP, and have had the dream to do it ever since.The Bike Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08429787426847629210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1388919094865238326.post-5766937160981010052014-05-02T08:48:44.307-07:002014-05-02T08:48:44.307-07:00Exciting!

The magenta fenders were an afterthought but I really like them. I briefly checked out your blog and see that you do brevets/randonneuring events and that you did PBP in 2011. I will have to spend more time reading your blog because I'm hoping to do PBP for the first time in 2015. I will be trying to complete a brevet series this summer in preparation for doing the qualifying brevets next year.The Bike Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08429787426847629210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1388919094865238326.post-76506778814625476362014-04-28T20:31:57.720-07:002014-04-28T20:31:57.720-07:00Thanks, Roger!

I saw four flying over Hayward Lake the other day and tried to get a good shot without luck.The Bike Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08429787426847629210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1388919094865238326.post-58426883522857785052014-04-27T12:26:49.207-07:002014-04-27T12:26:49.207-07:00I love the setup on your Bob Jackson.
