Last Pre-Paris Brest Training Ride

We were rocking with 7-speed friction shifting (Rally rear derailleur) yesterday on our last training ride before Paris-Brest-Paris.  200 kilometers with about 7,000 feet of climbing and a finish (25 miles) into a stiff headwind, with a total time of about 8:15.  Today, the bike gets cleaned up and put in the bike box for the trip to France.
