EXCELLENT! I am consistently amazed by you super-randonneur types! So how was is with gears vs. fixed???--

Eric, great pics! I did the 90 hour start on my almost a year old
baby blue Rivendell custom with Berthoud bags. I saw several Atlantis
at the bike check and encountered a Hilsen, saw many Boulder Bicycles,
but didn't see any other customs. I did see a couple of French gents
on Alex Singers (an older fellow on a black one and another guy on a
blue one.) I struggled to communicate with each of them. The older
guy managed to come out with a joking,"You-- and your Rivendell!"
The controls look sparsely populated compared to my experience. The
rain that hit us between St. Nic and Carhaix caused me to give up on
my sleeping plans. I actually didn't get any sleep until Quedellac on
the way back in (about mile 530!)
I look forward to seeing your video.

Yes, the controls look a lot sparser than my (orange Hilsen) 90 hour start. That might be the way to go next time. Any thoughts, Eric or others?

Pace is a big consideration as well, these pictures show the controls
much more crowded then I saw them on my 90 hour start, riding a 75
hour pace. Espcially Villanes, there were maybe seven to ten riders in
the cafeteria when I was on my return trip. This year most of the 84
hour hour riders were dumped on by the rain storm, where I saw no rain
at all.
I rode it on my Riv, and it was a GREAT time. I can hardly wait four
more years for next time!

Spotted a few of your bikes at PBP. Loved the baby blue Riv custom.
I rode in the 90 hour group on my lugged steel Vanilla. I was amazed
by how many folks were riding fenderless racing bikes with non-
functional luggage systems. It was great to spot the Rivs along the
way.

Nice photos Taylor.

and wore an audax ecosse jersey
