PBP Preparations

Just over a week before I get on the plane for France, so it was time today to put a new chain and tires on my Paris-Brest bike.  Last long training ride (about 200K) is tomorrow. Then it'll be time to wash and box up the bike.
New chain. That's a Velo Orange crankset with 48/34 rings.

New rubber. I've been using Panaracer Paselas with great success. When I rode PBP in 2007, I had no flats in 1200 kilometers.

Paris Bound

Your host, CampyOnlyGuy (aka Eric Norris) is now qualified for a Paris-Brest-Paris! My friend and I rode our Campy equipped bikes this past weekend in the final" 600-kilometer qualifier. We covered the distance (375 miles) in 32:15, riding straight through with only a 30-minute sleep break. Check back for our ride video later today.
