http://cyclinglifeafterlel.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Cycling Life After LEL. Someone told me that you become a different person after LEL. Lets see . Paris Brest Paris - PBP 2011 - Ride Report. Last night I dreamt I had to sleep for 1230 hours. I was doing well, managing to go back to sleep if I momentarily woke up. The rules were clear. If caught using alarms, time penalties will follow! Then my alarm clock went off! Me at the start - photo by John Spooner. Two of the Faccombes riding through 'Avenue Support'. A light, airy, spacey gymnasium. The smel...

Cycling Life After LEL: BPB 2010

Cycling Life After LEL. Someone told me that you become a different person after LEL. Lets see . Brussels - Paris - Brussels. Da's ne keer een schoon ritje." is what 'nochain' wrote on a belgian cycling forum. It's a sentence you can't translate. Just like you can't translate into flemish "Lets have a nice cup a tea". Three out of five might be having coffee, but you are still all having 'a nice cup a tea'. The ride might be 600km long, but it still is a 'nice little ride'. But no football anywhere!

Cycling Life After LEL: BCM 2009

Cycling Life After LEL. Someone told me that you become a different person after LEL. Lets see . When I explain what Audax is to people who show the slightest bit of interest (! I always say its about unsupported long distance cycling. The long distance cycling is of course true, but the 'unsupported' is really something I need to find another word for. And Pete gave out good signals too: "You'll love the BCM" he said, "Its a wonderful ride". If you can spot me, you can see how focussed I am on the start!

Bikes And Bees: PBP 2011
http://bikesandbees.blogspot.com/p/pbp-2011.html
Last night I dreamt I had to sleep for 1230 hours. I was doing well, managing to go back to sleep if I momentarily woke up. The rules were clear. If caught using alarms, time penalties will follow! Then my alarm clock went off! Me at the start - photo by John Spooner. But it is true that the PBP 2011 rider's dossier was full of do's and don'ts, time penalties and disqualification warnings. I wonder how many were enforced. Two of the Faccombes riding through 'Avenue Support'. Haus vom Nikolaus (from wiki).
