Enjoyed your video as I followed the link from Adam. I enjoy the scenery that you all provide as I don’t see that type of scenery. I am from the SW corner of Missouri where we have rolling hills. You all seemed to be having a great ride.

Thank you for the video and Chapeau on your achievement! I have a couple of geared bikes and a single speed. My go-to bike for longer rides was my single speed. It was Reynolds steel, 48:18 gearing and took 32mm slick tyres. Unfortunately, I was hit by a van a couple of months back - I suffered broken bones, torn cartilage and assorted soft tissue damage, but I will heal. My bike was written off. I have a replacement bike now, and plan to do a ride similar to this, or London-Paris next year. Keep up the great videos and ride safe :-)

Chapeau!! It's now August 20th 2023 and the PBP has just started. All these great vids are inspiring me to have a go but I'll be 70 in 2027. I'll try for an SR in the next couple of years and see whether my body is up for it or if it's just a pipe dream. I'm amazed by your energy through tough times. Well done!

When you see such video you can’t complain anymore on a 11-28t cog

PBP on a fixie! Insane! Respect!

It‘s not very nice to complain about the „french organization“.

Typical Bristol attitude : winge, winge winge !

Awesome :)

Chapeau what a fantastic video and a fantastic achievement well done 👏

Congratulations! Epic ride, especially on a fixed gear! Well done

wow .. incredible .. at 01:35 ..its our own Jeff newberry from Austin, Texas !!

This got me excited about PBP2023. Like the one guy in the start saying 'do it now, next time I'll be too old, now or never'. -- What was your final time?

I did it fixed too. :-) Would be nice to be riding along with another person on a fixie. Sadly we didn't see each other there. I'm going back in 2023, but my fixie brevets are over after 5 years of full series in 2 different countries.

Very pretty Audax and Bristol have quite an Audax thing going on.

This is the best PBP video I’ve come across. I’m subscribing to see what you do next! Thank you for sharing

Caught your channel from Adam. Thanks for the cycling inspiration.

Why are you doing the PBP? I went out cycling one day and fell in with the wrong crowd. You were cycling with my club at about 10.30

Well done ..popped over from Adams channel 👍🏻🚴🏼‍♂️

Is that Captain Dangle?

Really inspiration, great achievement. Make me believe pbp can be finished with single gear bike👍. May i know the gear ratio you use?

great achievement, capturing the spirit, very inspiring !

I rode a 600km this weekend too, but only took a few photos and short videos, certainly not enough for a vlog. Well done on doing both with great results.

Chips in the top tube bag. Brilliant. Greasy, but brilliant 😂

Nice work! Good to see Adam Watkins stuffing his face too 🤣

great video. silly question. do you have to sleep at the checkpoints? or can you choose to sleep in hotels/B+Bs/hostels etc? Would love to do something like this, but i need a good 5hrs + sleep in a bed otherwise i stop working properly...

Nice video! My name is Rafael, from Brazil. I rode PBP 2011 and LEL 2013 and loved it! Waiting for more specials videos like this. Good riding and I hope meet you around the world rinding a randonnee!

Eleanor, You are so fantastic riding fixie across the Perche and all those damn hills between Loudeac and Brest et retour. Yes Normandy and Brittney are not flat as I discovered again in 2019.

Nice one congratulations. And wow stumbled across another PBP video by accident. Feel free to check out my account of the ride over on my channel. Can't help but agree with the weather- bloody cold It was!

Wow! Completed on a fixie and made a brilliant vlog along the way. Great stuff El. Something tells me you'll be back :)

Alice, El and Grace whats not to like. Thankfully no Bojangles (ha sorry Grace!)

Mad respect El! Got me excited for PBP 2023!
