They opened a room in the hotel just for us to build our bikes. I've run into about 500 cyclists already today. Like, actual talk.
My tire unseated during the flight so I need a compressor to reseat tomorrow. There's a bike shop withing eyesight of the hotel so no issues. Will get in a test ride early before heading into Paris for some "basic white chick touring"
All I've really been doing is taking pictures of cars we'll never get.

Put a tube in my bike because I'm in France and should be riding. So I rode 30 miles to Rambouillet and back. Took pictures at the Chateau du Rambouillet, which I think is just a normal sized house in Summit.
Found some sweet dirt jumps just up the hill.
Been up since Wednesday morning so I'm beat AF.

Touristing in Paris. Basically just walked around the Louvre all day because, it takes all day.
Then met the NJ Rando folk at the Eiffel Tower.
We went out to dinner as a group and just got back to Marepaus. Not the best pre-ride prep but, I'm in fucking PARIS!!

Bike check and Packet pickup today. Was a zoo. Like waiting in line at Disneyland. But wet French Cobbles? C'est bon!!
Went in to judge the bike show. Which made NAHBS look like Walmart bikes. Seriously insane craftsmanship. And these bikes are all being RIDDEN at PBP, no trailer queens.
Super legit support vehicle.
Italians.
Had dinner in Saint Quintin and having an early night for our last pre-ride sleep. Hoping to go into a coma for 12 hours. This helped...
Bonsoir!!

The Last Supper.
Also, the last supper. T-Minus 3 hours to Wopner.
I have zero game plan and will 100% wing it depending on opportunity. I may ride straight through, I may sleep at every Control. I do plan on riding hard enough to get into the thin part of the ride and stay in front of "the bulge"

360k in at Tinteneac. I haven't slept yet and it's starting to show. Line and David are about 1/2 hour in front of me but they haven't been eating or getting off the bike, so that's a short game strategy. I've at least been taking in tons of calories.
