I'm interested in participating PBP 2011. It's exciting but also kind of frustrated thought because I have no idea about the situation there.<br /><br />I wonder, along the route, is it easy to buy some food/water (or have a toilet stop)? Or, it's better to do so in the controls and carry food/water? (Except the first one I guess, since it's the longest distance)<br /><br />Best wishesBottlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05660987961183669759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8803144976327688451.post-51429864627695549332010-01-09T16:47:43.395-05:002010-01-09T16:47:43.395-05:00Adrian,

Sorry that I got into rando too late to get to ride with you on a brevet. Hope you are doing well today.<br />KeithDoctor on a bikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11250964218105821633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8803144976327688451.post-47171780837016042582010-01-04T11:42:03.434-05:002010-01-04T11:42:03.434-05:00Dreux, As controls go this one was a true stinker,...Dreux, As controls go this one was a true stinker, built in the mid 60's (or so it looked at 1 am to me) the style of this building is best described as soviet industrial. <br /><br />Toilets - after 70+ hours of riders passing through I will let your imagination fill in the picture<br /><br />Food - Great selection but then with a 30% + DNF rate I wonder what it would have been like if there were a lower DNF rate, but if it was run like Nogent la Roi in 2003 my guess would be the amount and quality would be as good as most other controls. <br /><br />Sleeping - with so few miles to go why sleep here? <br /><br />Now for the hard part, after the last control before Dreux there is a section that is not marked very well, I can only describe the intersection as just outside of a small town where the arrow is way up on a pole just out of sight, don't miss this turn or you may need a Micheline map to find your way back on route.....Chethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01115469271157730817noreply@blogger.com
