The Mecca Of Randonneurs! Paris-Brest-Paris
WOW! Talk about an interesting news event! The Paris-Brest-Paris event is rolling and I have a good Friend from work, (Allen) seen here at the start! Quoting from the RUSA website: “First run in 1891, the 1200-kilometer Paris-Brest-Paris, or "PBP" as it is commonly called, is a grueling test of human endurance and cycling ability.” Here’s a good Facebook link (Thanks Boris Fayfer) for a larger photo! (Also notice ALL the bents starting as well!) Lastly here’s a thread at BROL on this event and a Youtube Video. (Whereby you will {Again} see a BUNCH of bents doing this event!) GOOO Allen and Vita!!!

Sadly or actually even MORE pathetically, this world is reverting back to the savage, prehistoric ages… 
I had eaten there a lot in the past and had a lot of good times meeting with friends there. My Heart Felt prayers go out to the owners and employees there! 
On the liquid side, I personally use basic WATER with a few minor sips of Gatorade, throughout the ride. Recently our bicycle Diva of South Florida, Kerry posted the photo you see here at Facebook and revealed some excellent food fuel that was utilized during the recent 
BUT you gotta remember, this is purely FUEL that you will be burning for quite sometime out there on the road. Besides good bicycling fuel, these accumulated yummies can also be used for DELIGHTFUL Couch potato comfort food munchies too! 
And as I posted at FB, give me 15 minutes alone with these goodies and you will see a new name for this site, 
I moved onto (What was then considered to be a performance bike) 
turned many a heads and thus made this bike a REAL attention getter. BUT that was actually back in the 90’s and USS bikes have pretty much gone to the sidelines, until this latest post at the BROL website’s front page, 
for some of these GREAT looking shirts; BUT I will do so soon! In the meantime if anyone is interested in acquiring this cool looking shirt, just cruse over to 
and check it out! Of for your Facebook fans, here’s 
Pictured is a good Friend of mine, Katherine, and Husband on what obviously appears to be 
Here’s a rather LOUD (Color wise) jersey for cyclists that want more visibility on the road and obviously at bike event as well! From the BROL thread: 
Believe it or not, I have the same attitude, about pace lines. (s you can read in my past post) Some people like bents in them and other's don't. And it's not that I haven't done them in the past or that I can't participate in them properly; I just don't have the desire or fascination anymore to be in that kind of close FAST bicycling endeavor. Plus when your bod is inching ever so closely to OLD GEEZER status; 
and end up with multiple or massive head and body trauma, that numerous cyclists I know, have had to endure. If I can be way front or way in back, that’s perfectly OK with me. Even in my past encounters with the A1A / Commercial group on the weekends, I hang in the back and enjoy, just being able to hang with some of the GO FAST crowd... BUT at a SAFE distance. :-) So my advice to you, is to ENJOY your ride the way you want it and don't worry about any talk or rumblings you might hear about. 
BUT as the second poster (i am bent) added, they are using an outdated recumbent, that’s no longer in production… 
to abolish bicycling in this country! An excellent write up about this in the
