200 is already a challenge, but on a fixie, bloody well done.

Conor: Thank you for this great film, and well done, the kit fiasco may have ruined my drive to finish.

This route looks amazing.

Brilliant work Connor and a truly epic ride! OK, what expensive kit was buried in Mike's bag?

It was deeper in the bag!!! (I've done this).

in the saddle bag the whole time - even as someone just watching the video that was so painful! All's well that ends well.

4:01 riding though the bar district on bikes just hits different when you used to go clubbing. I def prefer the group ride over the club these days 😅

bonus climb, you are a mad man

Such a great ride Connor, alway an inspiration, keep pedaling

Well done, that is a long day , Smart move rolling in with the other two riders ! ( your a legend!)

Km 0? Dude you already biked from Brockton? (Toronto) To square one. That's a bunch of extra kms before even starting!!!!!!

what is the usual cost to enter one of these rides ?

I like the idea of this but other than the cost of the bike and equipment what is the average cost for this type of ride ?

Great video Conor but the title should be Warm Up 200.

We should have built a fixed gear trace team.

see you in 2027

Thanks for the coverage. Mist is one thing I never saw there! I was a BC Rando from '85 to '16. I did PBP in 1999 and 2001 and DNFd both times at Loudeac for all kinds of reasons. Worst was Shermer's Neck on the way back to Carhaix. It was just getting dark when a young Alberta Rando caught me. He was out of batteries and had no lights. I had an excellent dynamo system but could not keep my head up for more than seconds. So he rode next to me all night, telling me when I had a turn or obstacle coming up. I could only stare at my top tube. Neither of us was very happy! It was scary on the twisty downhills. At dawn we reached Carhaix and he continued on. I went to bed. Taking the train back to Paris with some other DNFs from SoCal, I learned about Shermer's Neck for the first time. Later I contacted MIchael Shermer himself, wanting to know if it was related to my previous whiplash injuries. But he was skeptical. BTW my friend Deirdre Arscott finished it for the tenth time in 2023, A record for any woman, That does take 40 years! So she could tell you how to get it done. Not that just anyone can do it! But don't give up.

There's something really cool about ending on a train. Never done it myself, but it was a great way to cap the video.

Cool music and views 👍

Nice video. Will you be back for PBP 2027?

Hi Conor -- John Archibald here, I believe we chatted briefly early on. PBP is a tough old slog, chapeau on your effort and see you in 2027. Your experiences this year will serve you well I am sure.

Nicely done

Thanks for sharing the struggle with us. It must have taken some humility to do so.

Grateful that you shared this video Conor. This is part of the foundation with experiences that will lead to a successful 2027.

My parents and I were discussig their troubles driving in Ireland and I was wonderingnwhether or not it would make nice cycling...now I know!

It is beautiful to experiment a PBP mate. Congrats ! What is the optimal sleep time according to your research ?

Amazing trip

It looks like our rides overlapped a bit as I started in wave C. I also have challenges riding in the heat. I rode PBP and the qualifiers using a Core device to monitor my body temperature. It's pricey but knowing I had to lower my effort levels when my temperature was reaching critical thresholds was useful. I also found salty electrolyte drinks were helpful. However, I still struggled that Monday afternoon of PBP because of the heat. I ended riding more of the event at night than I planned to avoid the late afternoon heat. Good luck in 2027!

It's a good thing to report not only the glorious victories but also the more difficult moments. Healthy eating is definitely a challenge on those super long rides, and the food you easily come by isn't always the one that will let you ride through to the end. Nice video !

Pushing through all that while riding solo takes some grit. Kudos!

Really want to do this one. Maybe next year. I did Forks of the Credit going the other way on the Lake of the Burning Plains brevet. Much easier that way. 😂

This is great. I wasn’t sure my black “Glint” wheel sticker’s actually reflected!!

I love how you capture the brevets.

Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the freshest of them all? ;)

Would like to know more about your setup, specifically the cockpit. What are the handle bar extensions and how do they attach to your drops. thanks for the video

Your optimism about headwind and rain was awesome. Great ride! Thank you for sharing this.

Awesome

I was looking for this for a long time. Thanks for the video Conor! It's cool!!! I recently came to Canada in August 22 and I live in Mississauga, I am planning and preparing to participate in the BRM's. Great to see you guys and hope to meet in upcoming events. If you can please help with the audax registration link that would be great!

I finally made it into a video (for 2 seconds)!! Great ride and great video Connor.

I also got caught out in this storm. When I turned north onto 6th line from William Halton everything looked good. By the time I was at 6th and Britannia I was turning around. Took shelter in a friendly strangers garage for 20 minutes as it went over. The weatherperson lied to us!

Alright!! I made the final cut at 31:43!! Thanks for the birthday wishes! Good memories!

Great video, Conor. Love the time and distance contexts!

That was insane. Glad you guys made it home safely!

What kind of tirres do you have? Those turns away from streetcar tracks give me anxiety

Awesome video! Definitely one to remember.

Beautiful! Looks like you left that ride at the right time 😅

Nice route!

Your videos are 🔥Wish I could've joined you guys. Next time! Glad to see your injury's all healed up man

Can you do this ride on a road bike with 26 or 28 mm tires?
