Congratulations on a magnificent accomplishment! My wife and I really enjoyed your PBP video series and look forward to watching many more of your videos. I think you've found the perfect hobby.

[@blockprojects]

Many thanks! Yes, it has turned into a very rewarding hobby that has taken me on great adventures and allowed me to dine out on bike gear without being a poser hahaha. Thank you for watching! I really appreciate it.

[@robmartin1792]

Yes, indeed, congrats on your achievement!!! I, also, have enjoyed your pbp series. Much continued success to you on/off the bike!!!

[@blockprojects]

Thank you so much!

Congratulations once again and bravo for this beautiful state of mind. I also like to see things like that because that's the hiking spirit. I saw a video of a cyclist who gave up because he had come to do a performance and as he was behind his time, he preferred to stop in Brest and go home. Some cyclists have nothing to do with PBP.

[@blockprojects]

Thank you very much! I think I saw the same video.

Hi August - great to see your videos of PBP. Really disappointed I didn't get to meet you in person. You did a great capture of the ride. regards David

[@blockprojects]

Thank you! Yeah, I'm sorry I missed you as well. Maybe at LEL?

[@davidkcowie]

@@blockprojects that’s on the cards for 2025. Will be older, hopefully lighter, with a better saddle!

[@35jays]

Congrats to you and enjoyed your videos!

[@blockprojects]

[@PauloMendes-y2s]

Congratulations!!! I loved your videos about PBP!

[@blockprojects]

Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed the videos. Cheers!

[@kevinosullivan7121]

Really enjoyed your series on PBP and you kept so positive throughout. I watched a couple of other videos on the ride with disasters from chicken pox to crashes and DNFs so it was a joy to follow your ride. How about London Edinburgh London 2025 as training for the 2027 event 🚴🏼‍♂😀

[@blockprojects]

Thank you so much. I am really glad you like it. I am considering LEL. Have you done it before?It's quite daunting, isn't it?

De bonnes pensées qui me motivent encore davantage. Bravo et merci pour toute cette série.

[@blockprojects]

Je vous en prie! Merci d'avoir suivi. J'apprécie vraiment cela.

[@garybrooks3777]

Chapeau to you. I’ve really enjoyed watching your PBP videos. You’ve got me seriously considering Audax and entering the 2027 event! 👍🏻🤗

[@blockprojects]

Thank you! I'm really happy you enjoyed the videos. Go for it! Audax is great. If you are not already a long-distance riders, start slow and incrementally take on greater challenges. Please feel free ask me any questions you may have. Thanks again for watching.

congrats, great accomplishment. How old will you be in 4 years. I"m 60 this year and wonder if i have what it takes to do one of these. Great content, and you're always smiling even when you're suffering, very inspirational,

[@blockprojects]

Thank you so much! Optimism is sort of my nature. There is an old joke my father used to tell to describe me and the punch line was "With all this shit, there's got to be a pony here somewhere." That's my motto haha. I'll be 58 in 2027. I think that's a perfect age for PBP. I saw many riders in the their 60s and 70s on the route and crossing the finish line. If this interests you, go for it. Feel free to ask me any questions you may have. Cheers!

[@marccarter1350]

Paris is a great places to cycle these day, much less traffic. They looked at Holland made changes. Man that's too far for me. 300km is my max, 600km on a 10 day tour. Well done.

[@blockprojects]

Thank you! It really is lovely. I rented and e-bike and tooled around everywhere. It was great!

[@mofmanp8874]

You dont even look tired

[@blockprojects]

It must be a trick of the camera hahah. I was pretty spent.
