Any chance anyone at the Mercure in San Quentin find a pair of reflective leg bands? I'm pretty sure I lost them after the ride in one of the bike rooms or a...

Wow, Kevin, that was a good report. Remembering my two PBPs makes me want to do it again. I wonder if the old guy has another season or two left in him? I...

... David, Your presence was certainly missed at PBP this year, and I know the damp weather would not have discouraged your effort. You're aware that...
I will have to say that I've been somewhat motivated by Andy Akard's PBP. Still I've found that cycling less lately has left more time for doing other things....
I asked several New England folks and didn't hear much. Most promising was a suggestion that Jennifer might continue to run BMB once every few years, but I...
I think I'll end my days on my Waterford touring bike. If anyone thinks he or she would like to try a 'bent, I'd like to sell mine to make room in the...

I had heard something similar about its "ownership" though it's hard to believe that?BMB generates enough revenue to induce someone to purchase the right to...

The BMB news is disappointing to hear. I was really beginning to contemplate a return next August and even if I weenied out next summer I'd still have had the...
Overview This was my third PBP and my first 1200 ride riding in rain. It was payback time for all those dry miles I enjoyed on GRR, LEL and two previous PBP...

Ian, Thanks for the report. Surprising how many you've racked up in the last decade. Perhaps your stiff upper lip hides alot but you always make these ultra...
