Paris-Brest-Paris 2023 done in 71 hours and 45 minutes, with about 6 hours sleep in total. Fantastic experience meeting old and new friends from all over the world.
A big thank you to the volunteers for making this happen, and to the people providing us with food, water and coke day and night, heroes!

[@simonbennettalbertst]

Well done! I think I rode with you and the other two musketeers for a bit between Fougeres and Vilaines on the return (Simon from Ramsgate). I got too tired and needed a snooze.

[@arvidnordstrand]

Thanks, and well done to you too! Great time! I remember you Mr. Ramsgate 😁👍

Amazing! Congratulations! 🚴‍♂️🎯👊🏼

[@arvidnordstrand]

Thank you! 😁👍 Did you do PBP this year?

[@mojochaser6383]

@arvidnordstrand I wish! 😊 I've had a couple of adventures this year, but nothing like PBP scale. 🚴‍♀️ Almost at 6,000 miles so far this year, but most I've cycled in a day is 150. 😊

[@arvidnordstrand]

@@mojochaser6383 that’s great. Keep pedaling and aim for PBP 2027 😀👍

[@arvidnordstrand]

@@chap666ish indeed it was. A bit of a struggle for a Norwegian at times. But all in all a great ride. You there for 2025?

[@CanyonWanderer]

Congratulations! Quite an achievement 👍🏼

[@PLoktev]

Hello, great video! Can I use the snippet that has me in my PBP video?

[@arvidnordstrand]

Thanks! Indeed you can! Where did you find yourself?

[@stuartroberts6272]

The final stamp was nerve racking! What if he'd said you missed one!

[@arvidnordstrand]

Indeed it was. Glad everything was in order 😁. Did you finish?

[@simonbennettalbertst]

The riser I finished alongside missed the secret control at Playben (he was following his GPS track). No medal for him. He didn't seem too concerned, however!

[@arvidnordstrand]

Couldn’t have done this without a medal, probably died if i missed a control 😂

[@curlymopp]

Do you treat yourselt to a nap somewhere during the race or do you just ride straight on?

[@arvidnordstrand]

Had a 3 hour’s sleep at Brest and another 3 or so at Villaines-La-Juhel. I need my beauty sleep 😀

Nono, I´m just an old man enjoying an occasional ride on my De Rosa, but I´m fascinated by these extremely long rides. Respect! @@arvidnordstrand
